Trapster

Hey, if you use trapster what platform do you use it on?

I am thinking about using the CarPC version on my laptop with a Garmin GPS 18 Serial GPS adapter (I don't care about live alerts, only known speed trap locations)

i just downloaded the whole northeast POI's to my garmin from there

Lol that sounds like a good idea..

I need a GPS anyway... going to get a Garmin Nuvi 200. Its pretty cheap on ebay ($140)

then just go to trapster and follow the directions...download the pio loader from the garmin website and load it on and ur good to go....

Have you found it to be useful in your area?

i downloaded it 2 days ago actually so i dont know exactly..i pretty much know all the speed trap locations in my area and all my big trips for the summer are over so i wished i discovered it earlier but i have over 4500 locations for the northeast

can anyone tell me the effectiveness of trapster? What have been your experiences? Im about to do a 400mile roadtrip and I want to be as well informed as I can, but I dont want to have to deal with a bunch of bs reports

i just tested it out today and it alerts and shows where the leos will hide...but i mean on local roads its useless cuz u know all the spots where leos sit..but in unkown areas esp at night it will be very usefull

The garmin does a great job with the trapster locations. It warns you well in advance, but not miles in advance. Plenty of time to slow down, but it doesn't slow you down.

Possible to give a video demo of it working? I am in the market for a new GPS myself and it will need to run trapster
