This application provides a speed camera warning system for suitable Series 60 3ed phones. It is designed to operate either in conjunction with Nokia Maps, or in the background (e.g. whilst using another application or in standby) and popup to the foreground with an audio visual alert, then return to the background

 

The application together with an installation and user guide is available as a free download: SpeedCam.zip. 

 

Version 4.2 released 15th October 2008,
see change log and the blog.

When PyS60 v2 is available I will recompile SpeedCam

 

The application must be Symbian Signed before installation.

Fed up with signing, use OYSOISC 

Or use HelloOx for latest firmware e.g N95 V31

 

A suitable speed camera data file is required. A dummy file speedcam_example.txt is provided to illustrate the required format of the file. For the UK, a good source of up to date files is available at Pocket GPS World (I have no affiliation with them) who now provide a file specifically for this application - an annual subscription is required to obtain the relevant file (look for Nokia SpeedCam) from: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Cameras

 

Another source of speed camera data for Europe is available at SCDB.info using their version of my app called SpeedLimit

 

An old pocketgps_uk_sc.csv file that can be used to try out the application is available free in: http://www.pocketgpspoi.com/downloads/pocketgps_uk_sc_oct05.zip

 

This detector has been tested on a N95-1 running V21 / V30 / V31 firmware and latest Nokia Maps v2 and v3 beta using both the internal GPS and an external BlueTooth GPS, but works with other Series 60 3ed (inc FP1, FP2) phones that support Location Based Services (not E61). Not yet working for latest S60v5 devices such as 5800.
