4WM Review: MoDaCo CamerAware

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...

Neil has the front end interface been smartenned up at all?

I think the default front end is pretty much the same. It is fully skinnable via XML though, so maybe you could customise what you don't like?

Right, I may have to revisit it at some time then. Question what advantage do you seeignit having over the GPS World POI camera database?

It is kept more up to date (I think)

Many cameras now have directional data, eliminating false alerts from opposite carriagway

It is graphically more useful- especially with the Red Square diminishing as you approach a camera, with the camera type clearly indicated.

It can now be run behind TTN, and avoids having POI's active and configured, which can slow TTN down on some devices. Config for different camera types is very quick.

If you don't need Navigation, CamerAware can be run on its own, just giving a very visible overview of the status of cameras (Green/Amber/Red)

It has a large speed and direction readout

It includes journey tracking over GPRS and a good Google Earth display of your position/track

No ongoing charges after the initial £19.95 (£9.95 for MoDaCo Plus members)

I haven't used it for a while now... Must give it a go again....

I use the near monthly GPS World POI camera updates with TomTom 6, and I have no problems. How often are these going to be updated, as I didn't notice?

About the same then- every 3-4 weeks.

Thanks Neil.

I've used this app a lot over the last few weeks on my SP and have to say it works flawlessly the only downside I have is that on this device I can't run TT and Cameraware at the same time which is a pain but apart from that all is good.

Hmm, for my main driving when goign distances (Wales) I think TT is enough as that gives enough warning of the camera I'm unaware of, I may try it again next spring though as I don't think I'll have time to configure and go with it for this weekend.
