Be alerted to speed cameras with RoadPilot

Published by at

RoadPilot turns your Windows Phone smartphone into a live speed camera warning system. Using your phone's GPS the app monitors your location and speed and alerts you to upcoming speed camera, red light camera and average speed traps. It can also alert you to mobile (temporary) camera, thanks to a live update system, which is enabled by community submitted reports.

Proximity to cameras is shown via a progress bar positioned along the top of the screen. Your current speed is displayed in the middle of the screen (effectively a fancy looking speedo) and the details (type and speed) of the upcoming camera are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

The intention is that the RoadPilot app should be used as a co-pilot whenever you are driving. As the developers themselves notes continuous use of the GPS while driving will drain the battery more quickly than usual. So if you're a regular user of RoadPilot it will make sense to invest in a car charger and cradle.

The RoadPilot database of cameras cover 30 countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Rep. of Ireland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.
