    It performs better against radar that is not circularly polarized such as photo radar.

    I encounter a lot of photo radar in my area. See the difference in detection. Before:

    True. The way that it is worded seems to be very misleading, though; assuming that the link did indeed say that "the v1 performs better when mounted vertically on your windshield instead of horizontally." Makes one think that it works better in all scenarios when mounted vertically.

    I guess being misleading is how companies make their money, though!
