App of the Day: Cams Ahoy! Europe

How many times has a letter landed on your doormatt with a speeding fine enclosed? Sometimes, you don’t even remember passing a speed camera. Many of us have had expensive fines and points on our licence because we didn’t see the camera in time, or didn’t see it at all. Instead of splashing out way too much on a speed camera detector, why not just but Cams Ahoy! Europe for £0.59?

Cam Ahoy! Europe is an application for your iPhone 3G from ‘Betongkeps’. This handy little application will use your iPhone 3G’s built-in GPS to detect speed cameras whilst you’re driving. As you get closer to those dreaded cameras, the application will give you a sound alert with a picture and will tell you your distance from the camera.

The content loaded in to the application with details on speed camera locations is not user-generated — all of the information comes from www.scdb.info — the European Speed Camera Database. The application comes pre-loaded with over 22,000 camera locations from 32 countries throughout Europe and the advert on iTunes claims the information is over 99% accurate.

The application has been rated 4-stars at the time of writing this and all of the reviews describe how brilliant this app is, with most users saying that every camera they drive past is picked up by Cams Ahoy!

If you’re fed up with splashing out hundreds a year on speeding fines, why not give this app a try? At just 59 pence, there’s not much to lose.
