Introduction

Safety Cameras, or as they used to be known, Speed Cameras, have become a fact of life in modern motoring, and like them or not they are here to stay. Even the most diligent of us runs the risk of a moment's inattention finding us a few mph over the limit. As it is legal to provide motorists with the wherewithal to locate cameras, presumably because this will achieve the result of slowing the traffic in high risk areas, a number of products have become available for that purpose, ranging from paper maps, to stand alone GPS location devices like the Road Angel, to software based solutions.
Until now, most software based safety camera detection has been part of satellite navigation systems. MoDaCo have identified a gap in the market for an easy to use and relatively compact application which does not have the overhead of large maps and processor intensive scrolling displays. Does it fulfil it's objectives? Read on to find out!

Using the GPSID, CamerAware can run at the same time as other GPS programs, so for example it is possible to have TomTom Navigator open and running at the same time as CamerAware. In this situation, if CamerAware is in the background, and senses that you are going into a Red zone, it will play the warning and pop-up into the foreground. Once minimised again, it will monitor in the background until the next Red zone is entered. Currently it doesn't auto minimise, so it is necessary to tap the titlebar 'Cross' to reset focus to the Navigation program, which is a bit tricky while driving, but something which is being addressed by the developer.
