I admit that my favorite application while driving is Waze, but that does not mean leaving others as good as Google Maps or the legendary TomTom AmiGo. Regarding the theme of speed cameras, I generally opt for the trick of combining two applications: a browser in the foreground and speed cameras in the background. Normally the browser is one of the three mentioned above, but For speed cameras, I clearly know which Android Auto application I prefer.
I like to try speed camera warning apps. They usually get paid and I’m clear that for a one-time traveler like me, they don’t praise me, but you never know. For example, with “Fixed and mobile speed cameras”, I was pleasantly surprised from the first moment. It has many aspects that could be improved where navigation apps win, but if What you want is not to miss any radar and you don’t want to pay a single euro
It’s not perfect, but Fixed and Mobile Radars have functions without rival (free)
Let’s start with the presentations: Fixed and mobile speed cameras are av ailable free of charge
The fact that it is free has a price to pay: has some announcements, so from time to time you have to swallow advertisements occupying the mobile screen and worry about closing it. It’s not dramatic and there is always the possibility of paying a one-time payment of 3.99 dollars to get rid of it.
Once we give it the appropriate permissions (in “Location” you need to choose “Always”, otherwise it doesn’t work well). And it is from there that its virtues begin. As soon as we open it we find what you see on these lines. If we touch “Activate” then the “Map” button in the upper right corner, You will see at a glance the radars in your environment in great detail: how far away they are, what type they are, speed at which they are limited.
So when it comes to speed cameras, you have plenty of information and it’s up to date. More concretely, warns of fixed and mobile speed cameras, traffic lights and section. Not only does it have an extensive radar database, but it also has a community that warns of other speed cameras that may appear en route.
Although it can be used without adding the destination, it is important to enter it and here it is best to do it before starting the route and using your cell phone. Just one aspect to improve. Its interface is not the best in the world and the the design is quite typical, in terms of elements, colors and options, but it is more than enough to have an orientation and also not to miss the radars. That’s why I use it in the background.
I think it is very effective in sending warnings, something it does visually or audibly (the latter key point if we use it in the background), so as not to miss the radar. Her Another big highlight is the radar-centric configurationlight years away from what more general applications like Waze or Google Maps offer (which ultimately remain very complete GPS navigators).
Some examples are that we can configure a warning distance for speed cameras, which emits approach beeps whose frequency increases as we get closer or, and this is important, check the direction so that it warns us only from a radar if it is in our direction. and not the reverse. A true marvel for you, Whatever you do, don’t go unnoticed.
In a few words and as a conclusion: I would not use it as the only application in Android Auto (because the infotainment system allows using several applications at the same time), but As a free speed camera alerter, I think it’s the best out there..
