Richard.......The Uniden R3 has no arrows. I understand how a person could get used to them but I have never found the idea useful. Radar threat is generally always coming at you from the front. I have learned how to watch the signal strength meter to determine if the threat is real or a nuisance, close or distant, getting stronger or fading. I see the arrows as a gimmick. It helped make Valentine One different from the pack. Escort jumped onboard with the MAX360, and now the MAX360C hoping to capture some Valentine customers. How useful those arrows are in identifying the true threat location is questionable at best. Long range detection and good filtering are more important than arrows in my opinion. Like I said in my review, I wanted to find something about the Escort products that would keep my in the fold but I was unable to convince myself that Escort could outperform the Uniden R3.
