A small firm called Njection is developing a promising application for the iPhone that will help you avoid speeding tickets by alerting you to common speed traps set up by the highway patrol and local law enforcement.
Though still under development, the app will be compatible with both generations of the iPhone and offer live updates from the firm's interactive
Speedtrap Mashup map as well as other iPhone users.
Some of the features already built into the development version include:
- Speech notification of Speed Traps based on your current moving direction and distance to closest point.
- Microsoft Virtual Earth display of Speed Traps.
- Live Updates of speed traps updated from the website or other iPhone users.
- Support for Landscape and Portrait mode.
- Speed Trap Ranking based on level of enforcement and time of day area is monitored.
- 3G and 2.5G Compatible. (2.5 users are not as accurate to their current location but still can use the service)
- Submit Speed traps from the iPhone or on the website.
- Rate Speed traps from the iPhone or on the website.
Njection said several additional features are still in the works for the inaugural release. Pricing information has not yet been released, but
AppleInsider will provide updates at a later date.
