Tired of speeding tickets? Everyone hates to get one. No matter how careful you drive, the police are only a snapshot away from catching you, especially with those sneaky radar cameras and hidden speed straps. PhantomPlate designs can help you equal the score with their NavAlert GPS Speed Camera Detector, a satellite based red light, speed camera and speed trap driver warning system. The NavAlert GPS can also detect, locate and update up to 150,000 speed trap and camera positions. Updates can be done via laptop, PDA or cellphone GPS NMEA data to give you enhanced coverage wherever you go. A warning or chime will inform you if a speed trap is near, usually about 500 meters from a location so you always have time to safely slow down.

PhantomPlate designs have been in business since 1996 so they pretty much know their stuff when it comes to speed trap counter measures. For more information about the NavAlert GPS speed camera detector system, you can visit their website by clicking here. –>
