It was just for me an idea to play with the tablet's GPS.
I respect speed limitations.

Please wait during the import.
It's very long.
I didn't add a nice waiting dialog window :(

You can launch the application in xterm to check if the application hangs on an error message.
The application download the lastest speedcam database (RF file) from alertgps.com.
You can't import a local ov2 file.

Now you won't 'just' be speeding but also fiddling with a tablet in the car.

The majority of people who use speed camera detecters do so for the following reasons:
  • Speed camera's are there because that part of a road is an accident blackspot and its good to be aware that you need to take extra special care .... not only with your speed!
  • Sometimes the speed limit on a road changes and if you have the roads speed limit displayed on your detector it an assistant to letting you know what the speed limit is!

there are idiots out there who use detectors to speed down roads and be aware when to slow down to the speed limit but not the majority of us!
