At this time, SpeedcamAlerter is only available in test mode (no way to connect with your login to FoxyTag server). So you can't add/remove speedcams and speedcams database is a copy of the original. This test database is **updated regularly but is not up to date** !
SpeedcamAlerter is completely free and open source, but FoxyTag is now a commercial product (1st of July,2009). Applications that use FoxyTag database must pay **for each user connection** and an amount of money is requested by admins to validate applications (~180€). So SpeedcamAlerter will need your contribution to works (about 2€ for all charges) if number of users is sufficient ;-)

To avoid to be excluded from the system because of misusing the application, please learn the following points:
{{image url="images/speedcamalerter/ledred.jpg" title="Very important" alt="Very important"}} User must tag or confirm when he is as close as possible to the speed camera and not already as soon as he sees the camera. Otherwise there will be a second tag for the same camera and other users will decrease his trust links.
{{image url="images/speedcamalerter/ledred.jpg" title="Very important" alt="Very important"}} A camera inside a tunnel or close to a tunnel exit (typically less than 10 seconds after the exit) must be tagged at the tunnel entry.
{{image url="images/speedcamalerter/ledred.jpg" title="Very important" alt="Very important"}} When the tagging needs several user-interactions (like first choosing the kind of camera and then choosing its direction), it is when he presses the first button that the current position is recorded. User can therefore take as much time as he needs to finish the tagging process.
{{image url="images/speedcamalerter/ledorange.jpg" title="Important" alt="Important"}} It is useless to confirm several times the same speed camera. In some particular situations this can even be bad for his trust links.
{{image url="images/speedcamalerter/ledorange.jpg" title="Important" alt="Important"}} In case of a doubt it is better not to tag instead of tagging wrong. Many users think that if they forget to tag or to confirm a speed camera their trust links will decrease, which is wrong.
{{image url="images/speedcamalerter/ledyellow.jpg" title="Info" alt="Info"}} If user misuses the application (like confirming a speed camera when he is not close enough) his trust links will decrease and he risks therefore to be excluded from the system.
{{image url="images/speedcamalerter/ledyellow.jpg" title="Info" alt="Info"}} If there can be a doubt whether a camera can flash in both directions or not, it is better to tag for both directions.
{{image url="images/speedcamalerter/ledyellow.jpg" title="Info" alt="Info"}} A traffic light camera should be tagged and treated like a speed camera.
When gps is fixed, radar view appears and SpeedcamAlerter tries to connect to internet using configured data connection.
When connection is established, it downloads all speedcams near your current position and it displays them in the radar view.
