What is the difference between the Beltronics RX65 & Beltronics GX65 Radar Detector

We get asked this question almost daily so I figured I would spend a few moments to post the answer to the blog.  The Beltronics GX65 is based on the same platform as the Beltronics RX65 so when comparing the radar & laser performance they are virtually identical.  The GX65 adds an internal GPS antenna which basically takes the RX65 to new level with great advantages.

Having GPS the GX65 can alert you to red light cameras and fixed speed cameras by comparing your GPS location to the pre-installed coordinates of cameras across the US & Canada. The internal database is updateable via any PC computer with a USB port.  The 2nd advantage is the ability to mark and ignore false alerts.  The GX65 can memorize your GPS location and the frequency of the false alert so the next time you pass the false the detector will not alert you unless it see's some new activity at that same location.  This makes the GX65 much more quieter than the RX65.
