Tomtom Speed Camera Free
Around most of the developed world, a fair percentage of speed limit-related law enforcement has transferred from individual hands to the realm of machines. However, where a person traffic policeman might provide you the benefit of the doubt if you don't slow down quickly enough when the limit falls onto a road, a camera will only record you overstepped the mark, and that's it. Therefore a good knowledge of rate limits and where the automatic systems employing them are located is vital for the modern driver. This is really where TomTom's Speed Cameras comes in; it's pretty much all of the app does.
TomTom's Speed Cameras is an app for iOS only, such as the company's fully featured sat-nav app. It is even more restrictive, though, since a cellular data connection is a necessity. So it runs to the iPhone 3GS and above or one of those 3G iPads. It is not compatible with the iPod Touch or wifi-only iPads. The program itself is free, but it is entirely useless on its own. You'll have to purchase a subscription, which costs #16.99 a year, although an introductory offer of a single month to get #1.49 is available.
With the app installed along with a subscription applied, the port could not be easier. During regular driving, a stylised street graphic fills the display, using a speed limit sign on the right and your current speed on the leftside. If you are inside the limitation, the speed shows in white, but if you exceed the limit it changes to light reddish then a darker reddish. We discovered that Speed Cameras was not aware of the limit in some suburban side streets, except where this had been reduced to 20mph. However it should be fairly Google maps with road speed obvious the default speed is 30mph in residential neighbourhoods, and all major roads were discovered properly.
The most important role of the program, naturally, comes into play when you're approaching a speed camera. This may be a fixed camera, a mobile camera, a traffic light camera, or a mean rate camera, even though you may also turn at least one of these off separately. As you close to the camera, then a warning beeps and a space countdown starts at the base. Occasionally, cameras are detected that are not on your current route, but only around a nearby rotation, which can be a specially handy safeguard in case you become a side road which also entails a decrease in speed limit.
An even more useful feature is the way average speed zones are introduced. Instead of merely telling you to maintain below the limit, Speed Cameras keeps track of your current average within the zone. Therefore, should you wind up unintentionally going too fast at any point, you can peg your rate back to keep the average legal. For long average zones, this is going to be quite handy indeed.
