Avoiding Spped Traps With the iPhone
Written by Chad on November 24th, 2008Slashdot has a post up about two iPhone apps that help iPhone uses avoid getting caught in speed traps.
NMobile and Trapster are two mobile applications that provide up-to-date, detailed maps of speed-enforcement zones with live police traps, speed cameras or red-light cameras. After launching, each application pulls up a map pinpointing the locations of speed traps within driving distance. An audio alert will sound as vehicles approach an area tagged as harboring a speed trap.
Granted, now we can expect crashes to increase as people will be paying more attention to their iPhone and less to the road.
