Europe: Never Be Caught Out By A Speed Trap Again

March 9, 2010

Whether you're King of The Road or Driving Miss Daisy I can bet my life that a database of Speed Cameras would make driving a whole lot easier and a million times more enjoyable. SpeedTraps is a free app from AROBS Transilvania Software that can transform your iPhone into a feature packed speed camera warning system. Using the iPhone's built in GPS, SpeedTraps will notify you as you approach any fixed speed cameras (camera positions provided by www.POIplaza.com).

Features include audio and visual alerts for when you approach a speed camera. The volume, can be either subtle or loud, and the range of the alerts can be set from 100 to 3000 meters to suit your driving style. With the maps feature, using either Google Maps or Open Street Map, the speed cameras can be displayed visually to allow an overview of your journey. A really helpful feature when route planning before you leave home or if you do not have a safe way to access your phone whilst driving. The database includes fixed camera locations for United Kingdom, Austria, France, Germany, Hungary and Romania. The ability to add and edit new camera locations, for temporary cameras or mobile speed traps, is a really great feature that improves the overall reliability of the database. In addition, the developer has promised "Custom Database File Uploads" which will be available in next version. SpeedTraps is available for free, in the App Store.
