Ability to store camera reports for submission later?

i.e. when roaming with no data you can update database at home on wifi etc then capture cameras and submit when back home.

One small enhancement I would like to see is a setting to be able to override/ignore the camera direction, so you get warned even if the database says the camera is not facing your direction.
This covers the situation where the camera has been changed (if marked as 1 way) or the DB is wrong (could possiblly happen!) Smile

On the list mode in night vision put the arrows in white or a white line around the arrows so the arrows are more visible

can we have an average speed display constantly visible as it is when travelling through specs? Would be handy to know.

Hi Darren

I have been using the app for two days on my Gs32gb, my enhancement request is this

1 - Option to repeat warning as approaching the camera. Could be a setting with a slider from 5 to 30 seconds, as this would cover most aspects. Some people will change the time from camera warning setting, you can then tweak how often you are reminded before you reach the camera.

2 - The audio warning needs maybe an extra half second blank section prior to the speach. I have noticed that the start of the spoken warning seems to be very slighty chopped. This may not be helped by the use of a bluetooth speaker. Or the audio files have been trimmed too aggressively.

3 - Please review the tone of the speech, the iphones speakers are rubbish with any deep notes, a neutral voice sounds miles better. Trial and error may be the best way to determine this. If you use Copilot, you can hear the difference when selecting alternative voices. The bitrate may help as well....

Hope this helps. The app is brilliant, better that poi warner and trapster.

You should play a warning bong, faster and faster as you approach the target at over the speed limit.

The danger is that you hear the warning (yeah, yeah, heard it a million times) and forget to check your speed. A continuous warning while over the speed limit not only makes you aware of your criminally excessive speed but also lets you know when you are safely within the limit.

Also, can you improve the GPS reception on the iPhone - it's completely crap. Mad

when submitting a specs camera the option to select START / MIDDLE / END status would be useful. (especially from an admin point of view!!)

For those having trouble with GPS reception, try ROQY Bluetooth plus a Holux M1200. I have used this with CameraAlert on both a 1st Gen and 3GS iPhone.

I have one shut away in the glovebox (with a 12v Cigarette Mini-USB supply permanently hooked up) . . . constantly gets 8-10 satellite reception in a car where the 3GS wont even hold a signal lock because of the windscreen . . . and also gives a really fast/accurate GPS position [much better than the iPhone inbuilt GPS].

A side product of this approach is much lower power usage on the iPhone which is also a huge advantage when out on my bike [the Holux M1200 lithium battery is good for 10 hours] and using BikeMateGPS.
