If you own a car compatible with Apple CarPlay, in addition to an iPhone, of course, it is at least worth taking advantage of the system to use iOS applications on the car screen. If we can also use a GPS navigation application that also warns of speed camerasbetter than better.
In my case, I have tried several which are very effective. From speed camera warnings in Apple Maps to those offered by Google Maps and Waze. However, I ended up sticking with just one app it meets all my expectations and is, at least in my experience, the best when it comes to speed cameras.
The most complete application of all: ‘Fixed and Mobile Radars’
The name of the app is as simple as it is descriptive. It would no longer be missing if it were called “Fixed and Mobile Radars” and offered cooking recipes. Indeed, this application offers alerts for these speed cameras, but also other notices such as traffic lights with cameras and other community reports.
Now I must say that It’s free on iPhone, but not on Apple Watch and CarPlay. If we want to use it in the automotive system we will have to pay 3.99 dollars, which fortunately is a one-time payment and not a subscription. Although I do not recommend the purchase to those who are not going to benefit from it already using other applications and being satisfied, I think it is worth it because it is not a high price either.
My recommendation is that Try it first on iPhone and if it convinces you, pay the 4 dollars How much does the CarPlay version cost? Yes, it will offer you the same thing as on mobile, but in the end it is much more comfortable due to the size of the screen. The normal iOS version, however, contains advertising.
Fixed and mobile radars
Always find out what speed cameras are around you. Even if you are navigating, you can see speed cameras along the route and receive real-time notifications.
Everything the application offers (except radars)
It is convenient to start by talking about the legality of this application, specifying that it is completely legal. The position of fixed radars is public by the DGT, while for mobile speed cameras are based on community contributionsthis being precisely fundamental in the information of the application.
“Fixed and mobile radars” can be used as a GPS, using the Apple Maps map interface. Therefore, the directions will be the same as if we were using the iPhone’s native navigation application and with the incentive of finding many more visual and vocal warnings about certain elements of the road.
Because in the application we can find warnings about speed cameras, but also traffic lights with camera or another type of radar that detects whether we have crossed when the light is red or orange, as well as whether we are crossing while exceeding the speed limit. The same way they appear warnings about the maximum speed of a section determined by roads and other community-reported notices such as traffic jams and works at certain points.
