I believe it does yes. There are dedicated settings for configuring average speed. Give it a try , there is a free trial and is less than a couple of quid to buy should you decide to use it beyond the trial.

From whatI have seen, you have to download the database in IGO format. Three bars in top left, Settings, Databases. Add it from there. I believe each time you update the database, you then use the three dots in top right and Update databases.

From what I understand, i haven't installed it yet.

Just download CSV database and import into the app from Settings - Database. No need to unzip as the app will do that automatically for you. Check out the apps online help from the settings, it explains all compatible database formats.

I use it and find it pretty good.
It handles SPECS reasonably well and does give you your current average speed readout that is reset at each camera passed.
If you import the GB road data, you get other good stuff like speed limits, and the SPECS work better with that loaded as well.

Don't use any old CSV file.
Use the iGO ~ "UK - single file with all cameras" database as this has got directional data which SpeedTrap Alert uses correctly. Again, no need to unzip. You get a .txt file with the cameras and another with the pending (awaiting verification) mobile cameras. You can select either (or not) or both within SpeedTrap Alert.
Want any tips on usage? Start a new thread.

This Speedtrap Alert has potential if CA becomes obsolete on newer Android versions.

Bit of a faff to setup but once done seems to work OK. Works through car system like CA and has a nifty feature that when it detects, or loses, a selected Bluetooth device it turns on or off automatically.

I'll hold on to it as a backup.

It has a popup with current speed and average displayed over the top of any foreground program such as Waze. Or if it is running in the foreground, it's a banner at the top of the screen.

I am Belgium bound so will try it with the European data base. I see cameras can be reported too, I wonder where they go?

I don't know. I'll ask the developer. One thing is for sure though, it won't be PGPSW.
Don't forget to load the country Road Network database.
Settings ~ Advanced settings ~ Road network ~ {plus} top right for the best experience.
