Does Google’s "GPS" App on the iPhone also show speed & red light cameras?
February 21st, 2010 | by admin |I was reading an article the other night about Google’s free "GPS" app and the way it could very likely replace the overall GPS. I’m just wondering that if the app also reveals where speed & red light cameras are?
Thanks,

Trapster uses GPS and social networking to track and warn drivers of speed traps, red light cameras, along with DUI checkpoints. Users of the app say they’re just sharing information.
Trapster is an innovative new app in the iTunes App store that uses your iPhone to alert you of approaching police speed traps, red light cameras, and other kinds of law enforcement related traps.
It’s another innovative use for the Wi-Fi and GPS features of the iPhone 3G, and it’s free.
The vendor implies that the app is a kind of high tech shout out to fellow drivers, akin to CB radio and flashing headlights to other drivers warning them of impending speed traps ahead.
As you drive along, the iPhone alerts to you a trap ahead via an alert sound that plays with different alert sounds for different events.If you are driving along and spy a speed trap simply tapping the screen will mark your current location as having a speed trap. There’s also a rating system, which can be used to validate reports.
