Default Free Storm App for locating Police and Cameras

Please Login to Remove!

Read an article in MotorTrend about a great app that voice alerts you of locations that have either Traffic Light Cams, usual speed traps and a few other police hide out types. It works with your GPS and is free. I tested it today and it worked great. Trapster® - Speed Trap Sharing System OTA avialable for the storm and others..

Pretty cool application, I had this on my iPhone prior to switching to the storm ... Works surprisingly well on the storm. Almost as smooth as the iPhone version.

Works great. One thing I do not like is that the volume is too low and I rely on the vib. to alert me.

Thanks for the share. I want a Storm so bad but I don't want to change service providers plus I'm stuck in a contract for another 18 months.

Been using this application for about 1 month now and it works great. There must be many in my area that are using this app because all of the intersections with cameras are already in the db.

Great app!!!!

Do I have to create a login before it finds me on the map. It keeps saying searching for location but never finds me.

So far a pretty big fan of this app. Very good idea. Just wish it told you exactly where cops were on the road lol nice find though.

Jw though. Does the app notify you when you approach an area with common police? Or do youneed to have it opened?
