I'm wondering about the implementation...
I'll need to do some reading up, but I saw in a note that someone said it remembers the spots for 5 days. That seems like there will be some serious spam of long-gone traps. Perhaps when they reach critical mass of enough users, then can trim that down to 1 or 2 days.
Also, I guess that every moving cop car with his radar on gets logged. That's not really a speed trap and it's certainly not going to be accurate in showing where a cop may be even 10 minutes after the event. I don't know if they require any input from the driver to log what kind of speed trap it was. you know... a couple button pop up and you press one for stationary trap, another one for moving car, another one for grovery store automatic door openers...etc.
For now, I bet it's really unreliable, but I think they are probably doing the right thing by having too many than too few warnings.

Re: I'm wondering about the implementation...
Messed around with this a couple of months back. I didn't use the integration function becuase of the way mine is hardwired, only the GPS/network function.
I lost interest quickly but this seems like, at a minimum, a great way to inexpensively add a concealed display to your V1 and if the user base cilmbs then the GPS function could have serious value. I will probably set up my next car to work with this app & system.

can you get the app to work without the V1?
Eventually, the non V1 owners will want to benefit from the data. I bet you could sell that as a subscription service or something an make some money off it.=============================================== ==========
