Coming the day after Timothy Brady was sent down for cracking past an Oxfordshire speed camera at 172mph in a 911 Turbo, Chartcross’ Camera Alert Europe is nothing if not timely.
Running on your GPS-enabled Windows Mobile smartphone or Pocket PC, the £24.67 app matches your current location with a database of over 18,000 speed cameras across Europe (with updates available from www.scdb.info). You can get speed warnings, prioritise alerts, and even have alert sounds sent to a Bluetooth headset.
Lacking both the handset and car to try this app out, we’d love to hear from anyone who’s given it a go. Or who is willing to lend us their GPS smartphone and Porsche 911. You can buy Camera Alert Europe (or download a trial version) from Clickapps.
