Abstract
Provided is a radar detector that aids in management of unimportant sources, dynamically improving handling of such sources based upon previously-stored geographically-referenced information on such sources. The detector determines location of the detector, and compares it to locations of known sources, to improve handling of such detections. The detector may ignore detections received in an area known to contain a stationary source, or may only ignore specific frequencies or handle frequencies differently based upon historic trends of spurious police radar signals at each frequency, or based on geofenced locations. GPS is used to establish current physical coordinates. The detector maintains a list of the coordinates of known stationary source 'offenders' and geofence coordinates or boundaries in nonvolatile memory. When a microwave or laser source is detected, it may compare current coordinates to geofence boundaries and/or sources in this list. Notification varies depending on the stored information and current operating modes.
