Trapster: Social networking meets radar detectors.
Trapster, is a controversial but popular app that alerts you of nearby speed traps, red light cameras, speed cameras and the like.
It’s the high tech way to do the same thing people have been doing for years with CB radios and flashing headlights at other drivers to warn them of a speed trap ahead. Social networking meets radar detectors.
Using community generated content along with the GPS and WiFi location capabilities of your iPhone, Trapster shows you local traps and police hiding locations on a map called a Trap Map.
Version 3.5 just hit the App Store and brings with it some impressive new features:
- Improved interface Five features now accessible by tapping blue icons that span the right side of the screen.
- Bluetooth audio Pair Trapster to your stereo to get audio alerts over your speakers.
- Built-in iPod controls if your car supports A2DP (i.e. stereo Bluetooth),the little musical-note icon to slide open Trapster’s iPod audio controls.
- Rotating maps Trapster tacks your position in real-time on a moving map that can rotate depending on your direction of travel rather than staying in “always-North” mode.
- Real-time traffic The bottom blue icon slides out a Google Traffic map, which shows you trouble spots in your area.
Trapster is a well-designed app with an impressive range of features, including some nifty trip-planning stuff and optional push notifications of new traps. Most amazing of all, it’s still free.
