Tom Tom Speed Camera
Across the majority of the developed world, a reasonable proportion of speed limit-related law enforcement has moved out of human hands to the kingdom of machines. So a fantastic knowledge of rate limits and where the automatic systems employing them are located is vital for the modern motorist. This is really where TomTom's Speed Cameras comes in; it is pretty much all the app does.
TomTom's Speed Cameras is a program for iOS only, like the company's fully featured sat-nav app. It is even more prohibitive, though, since a cellular data connection is a must. So it runs on the iPhone 3GS and over or one of the 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 need to obtain a subscription, which costs #16.99 a year, although a introductory offer of one month for #1.49 is accessible.
Together with the app installed along with a subscription implemented, the interface could not be easier. During regular driving, a stylised road graphic fills the display, using a speed limit sign on the best along with your current speed on the left. If you are inside the limitation, the rate shows in white, but if you exceed the limit it changes to light red then a darker red. We noticed that Speed Cameras was not mindful of the limitation in certain suburban side roads, except where this was reduced to 20mph.
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 Run Google maps and Tom Tom app side by side you can also turn any of these off separately. As you close to the camera, a warning beeps and a distance countdown starts at the base. There is also an icon to show you which sort of camera to look out for. Sometimes, cameras are found that aren't in your current route, but just around a nearby rotation, which can be a specially handy safeguard if you become a side road that also entails a decrease in speed limit.
An even more useful feature is the way typical speed zones are introduced. Instead of merely telling you to keep below the limit, Speed Cameras keeps track of your existing average within the zone. Therefore, if you do wind up unintentionally going too quickly at any stage, you can peg your speed back enough to keep the typical legal. For long average zones, this will be quite handy indeed.
