Tomtom Speed Cameras
Across the majority of the developed world, a fair proportion of rate limit-related law enforcement has moved from human hands to the kingdom of machines. However, where a human traffic policeman might give you the benefit of the doubt if you don't slow down quickly enough when the limit falls on a road, a camera will only record you overstepped the mark, and that is it. So a good knowledge of rate limits and in which the automated systems employing them are situated is vital for the modern motorist. That is really where TomTom's Speed Cameras comes ; it is pretty much all of the app does.
TomTom's Speed Cameras is a program for iOS just, such as the organization's fully featured sat-nav app. It's even more restrictive, though, because a mobile data connection is a must. So it runs on the iPhone 3GS and above or among those 3G iPads. It is not compatible with all the iPod Touch or even wifi-only iPads. The app itself is free, but it's entirely useless on its own. You will have to purchase a subscription, which costs #16.99 a calendar year, although an introductory offer of one month to get #1.49 is accessible.
Together with the program installed along with a subscription implemented, the port could not be easier. During routine driving, a stylised street graphic fills the display, using a speed limit sign on the right and your existing speed on the leftside. If you are within the limitation, the rate shows in white, but if you exceed the limitation it changes to light red then a darker reddish. We discovered that Speed Cameras was not aware of the limitation in some suburban side streets, except where this was reduced to 20mph. However it should be fairly evident the default rate is 30mph in residential neighbourhoods, and all major roads were detected correctly.
The main function of the app, naturally, comes into play when you're approaching a speed camera. As you close to the camera, a warning beeps and a space countdown begins at the base. Sometimes, cameras are found that aren't on your current path, but only around a nearby turning, which can be a particularly handy safeguard if you turn into a side street that also involves a reduction in speed limit.
A much more useful feature is Run Google maps and Tom Tom app side by side how typical speed zones are introduced. Instead of merely telling you to maintain under the limitation, Speed Cameras keeps track of your existing average inside the zone. Therefore, should you end up unintentionally going too fast at any point, you can peg your rate back enough to keep the typical legal. For long average zones, this is going to be very handy indeed.
