Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 26, 2005 Report Posted February 26, 2005 I am very pleased to announce the Public Beta of MoDaCo CamerAware, my new Speed Camera alerting application. Full details can be found in this thread in the new dedicated support area for this application, and I have posted an excerpt below. Enjoy, and please post any feedback in here: http://www.MoDaCo.com/index.php?showforum=142 :lol: P I have decided to release a public beta of this application that I was working on quite heavily in late 2004, as development has slowed somewhat due to real life commitments, and I would like to build up momentum again icon_smile.gif CamerAware will allow your phone, when connected to a Bluetooth GPS, to provide an ongoing display of your speed and direction, and monitor a database of cameras, providing you with an alert when one comes within range. Additional features of the application include an ability to log your location to Phone or Storage Card at intervals of 1 second or above, and to upload your position at preset intervals to the http://www.World-Tracker.com service.
Guest stern Posted February 26, 2005 Report Posted February 26, 2005 perfect! just what I have been looking for, The on screen speed will come in handy. I use tomtom but have always been annoyed that I have to go through countless menus to be able to find my speed. will install it now and test it on the way home from work. Thanks Paul!

Guest martin Posted February 26, 2005 Report Posted February 26, 2005 I wish I had a GPS system :( There are way too many speed cameras near me and I really hate those grey ones :evil: This app would be great. GPS now added to my credit card queue :lol:
Guest dazza12 Posted February 26, 2005 Report Posted February 26, 2005 Thanks Paul. Just one question though, is this just for Smartphone, or does it work on Phone Edition devices such as the M2000 and Jam? If it does, it might be worth copying the announcement to there as quite a few won't know about it.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 26, 2005 Report Posted February 26, 2005 Just Smartphone, for now! :lol: P
Guest hunyango_uk Posted February 26, 2005 Report Posted February 26, 2005 I don't kow what to say?!!!!! :shock: It's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME dude!!!! You're the MAN!!! :lol:
Guest Dr_StrangeTrick Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Hi Paul, quick test last and CamerAware picked up my GPS and found the database ok. During a quick drive it reported the camera's by turning the screen red but all I got was the system 'doink' sound. I have found the alert.wav in the \Storage\My Documents\CamerAware\Sounds folder but it did not play this. I have the program itself installed to my sd-card and it has created the Database, logs and sounds folders in \Storage\My Documents\CamerAware and \Storage Card\CamerAware. Should it create both sets of folders :?: Also I have my logging options set to every second on the storage card but after checking this morning both log folders are empty. Nice to see this back to like, keep up the good work.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Ah yes, it is either looking for the WAV file IN THE APP DIRECTORY, or in \Storage Card\CamerAware\Sounds. I'll fix it in the next release, and yes, you should see CamerAware directories under 'My Documents' in 'Storage' after the first run. Logging.... did you hit 'Begin Log'? :lol: P PS Please post problem reports in the CamerAware forum :(
Guest Brody Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Nice one on getting this released Paul, MGA rocked and I'm sure that CamerAware will be even better!
Guest Dr_StrangeTrick Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Good question, I honestly cant remember. But I will make sure I do next time.
Guest ElGato65 Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 (edited) Doesn't work for me, get an error, TypeLoadException Could not load type OpenNETCF.Net.Bluetooth.R from assembly OpenNETCF.Net, Version=1.2.3346.0, Cultre=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30C767B29 :lol: Edited February 27, 2005 by ElGato65
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 27, 2005 Report Posted February 27, 2005 Sounds like you haven't installed the OpenNetCF CAB. As previously stated, PLEASE POST SUPPORT ISSUES ETC IN THE CAMERAWARE AREA. Thanks :lol: P
Guest venomgames Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 Just to say looks interesting so far, will get back with any suggestions One question- its only being given the GATSO database to work from, should we not merge the SPECS db etc. to get a more complete coverage? Peter
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 See the post in the Cameraware Forum... the next version will support all the DBs :lol: P
Guest Dr_StrangeTrick Posted February 28, 2005 Report Posted February 28, 2005 Hi Venomgames, I have not tried it in CameraWare but in its previous incarnation I appended the mobile, redlight and spec's files onto the end of the gatso file and it worked.
Guest peterweg Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Wouldn't it be useful if you could have a speed warning and/or indication verbally. Looking at a speedo is dangerous, especially on a motorbike.
Guest mcwarre Posted May 2, 2005 Report Posted May 2, 2005 Wouldn't it be useful if you could have a speed warning and/or indication verbally. Looking at a speedo is dangerous, especially on a motorbike. I dont think you would hear it on a bike........... (unless you had earphones in which is even more dangerous/illegal) Speed warning would have to be tied to road speed limit which is a massive database........
