Avoid (Inadvertently) Speeding with CamerAware v1.0
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "SOFTWARE" @ 06:00 AM
"CamerAware is an application for your Windows Mobile Smartphone / Pocket PC that works in tandem with an internal, wired or Bluetooth GPS to monitor your position as you drive, and alert you when you come in range of a 'Safety Camera'. By checking your position every second against a database of known cameras, CamerAware can help you be a safer driver, and of course help protect you against fines and penalty points for inadvertently speeding past a Camera."
CamerAware could be a valuable driving aid that pays for itself quite quickly depending on how much lead has been grafted into your foot! Some may argue that standard GPS solutions such as TomTom are able to perform the same role by providing speeding/safety camera information as POI markers; however, as pointed out within the linked thread, CamerAware provides more detailed data such as the actual speed limit in that given area. The cost is £19.99 (~$38 USD). Of course, just to be clear, I'm SURE none of us would ever intentionally drive beyond the speed limit, right? :worried:
