Trapster - GPS speedtrap/red light camera database

Saw this on SlashDot, definitely looks interesting. Has information on speedtraps and red light cameras. Hopefully this takes off because I'm sure it would be better than what TomTom and other POI services if enough people contributed to it.

Instructions for WM5/WM6

Direct link to cab (rapidshare)

Looks pretty cool. I live in Toledo, Ohio and they don't have any of the 21 in my city though...

thanks, will give it a shot and see if it's good.

PS. by the way, the direct cab file doesn't seem to work for me, but the .zip file is good.

Looks kinda lame. Is this supposed to be real time right? Like I see a cop and I press the 1 to upload to the data base there is a cop at 5th and main and then it would warn other drivers in that area? I cant see it being to accurate. I live in Maine and non of the cams in my town are on it either. Its all about the Garmin. It has the same red light/speed cam POI.

I just added Trapster to my TYTN II here in Florida. Trapster will warn me whenever I'm driving in an area where there is police radar. Whenever I see radar I send the report to Trapster by my cell phone. Its just one number speed dial.This program is all over the USA. Go to Trapster.com to join ,its free
