Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

Hi
I made a little application for my personnal use : Roadrunner
It alerts You when You're approaching a speed camera (beeps and LED blinks)
Speed cameras locations are available for United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Sweden.

Looks good, does the speed camera info include the direction (i.e. do you get false positives when going under/over bridges, or parallel to roads, or in the other direction?).

Also, does the db include the speed limit at the speed camera location?

Ah, is the source anywhere, or is this closed-source?

Actually, I've no internet connection at home.
When I get it, I can open a project on maemo garage.

The application alerts You when you're approaching a speed camera and stops when You're going away.
You can have false positives (I don't know the side of the road, bridges, etc....)
The free database ( basic access on http://www.gpsinform.com) does not include speed camera.
Roadrunner does not support the premium database.

Sweet application, I could find myself having a big use for this (shame I don't live in any of those countries though).

Maybe You can find a ov2 file for your country.
It should work....

Re: Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

there is a gitorious repo out , i'll be glad to checkout the sources ...
BTW shall we load all ov2 files each time from : "Mes\ POIs/Tomtom/" :
RF.bmp RF.ov2 RFR.bmp RFR.ov2 RM.bmp RM.ov2 ZD.bmp ZD.ov2

Hi David,
Do you know about FoxyTag? Quite a lot similar to what you have done...
(http://www.foxytag.com/en/presentation.html)
I'd love to see a widget or app on maemo using foxytag database ;)

Re: Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

rzr:
I 've added the sources on my website today
But I don't think if it works (I didn't work on roadrunner since 1 year...)
RF -> fixed speed cameras
RFR -> I don't remember...
RM -> mobile speed cameras
ZD -> dangerous zone
You don't need to import all ov2 files

Kee:
I will look at foxy tag

I planned to rewrite roadrunner from scratch as soon as I receive the N900.
I will open a project on maemo garage.

Re: Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

For someone like me who a few years ago lost a close friend to someone speeding down a road an application like this that indirecty supports and promotes speeding is both sad and maddening.

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