used this app today ..... brilliant!
whats the chance of adding the following features?
1 - option to choose mph and miles (instead of kph and kilometres)
2 - do you have access to the speed limit associated with the camera? if so when the full screen camera alert appears can it also display the road speed limit in the corner?
cheers.

ok for the miles
speed will be difficult, because all speedcams files have not the same format

it gives me the error "error when importing file" when I try to import a file in gpx(xml format) form www.gps-waypoints.net. does it work for anyone?
the file i tried was http://www.gps-waypoints.net/gps/gen...=Download+file
It seems to be empty though. So propably no fault by roadrunner.

I found some US camera data here:
http://www.gps-data-team.com/gps-poi.php
What POI file format is compatible with Roadrunner?

Hi,
cardiff blues i have had email contact with the developer who is looking to implement the option to choose mph on the main screen and metres on the alert screen. He does not have speed limit info so he cant implement that.
After further usage I would suggest a bit of optimisation in the application as follows:
I use my n900 as a sat nav (albeit very basic sat nav at the moment using ovi maps 1.0) but when a speed camera is approaching roadrunner takes over the whole display way before the camera, this means ovi maps is no longer displayed so if my turn is before the camera i miss it - perhaps there could be an option to choose 'vibrate only' or 'beep only' so that ovi maps can continue to be displayed .... perhaps a voice notification could be implemented stating
"500 yards"
"400 yards"
"300 yards"
"200 yards"
"100 yards"
"50 yards"
or 'small notification box' that appears in one of the corners of the display leaving ovi maps with the majority of the display (i dont know how hard that would be to implement though)
Also at the moment after I have gone past the speed camera roadrunner goes back to its main screen ..... so to get back to ovi maps i have to do 2 screen presses which is not ideal when driving.
but its a great app which i use a lot .... unfortunatly i find its not something i can use when i need it the most. I need it most when i am driving in an area i dont know - but when i am in an area i dont know i am using ovi maps for directions on the map. it seems the two apps are not able to be used together without creating difficulties
hope my ideas help the app move to the next stage of development and improve usability.

Comments:
a) My phone only vibrates when the camera is nearby.No sound alerts
b) It alerts me way before the camera comes (around 300 meters).Is there a way to change the distance of the alert?
