iRadar & iPhone application

[tadz0rz]

Hey guys, was just trolling around on the app store and noticed this. I cant find anywhere about this thing working in australia but I wanted to hear you opinions on it.

Im an apple fan boy and i love anything that intergrates my car and my iphone together and when i saw this i was like :O

Anyway, what do you guys think? would it work in australia?

I'm trying to figure out what it is- i.e. is it just a device which compares GPS against a database of known cameras or enforcement points (similar to Trapster), or is it a genuine radar detector (i.e. it notifies you when it detects the beam from a radar gun). Appears to be a combination of both and I'm pretty sure the 2nd component above (i.e. radar gun detector) is illegal and you'll get in trouble if you're found with one.

Have downloaded it - will test it out tomorrow - very doubtful you would be caught with this.

Edit - Just installed the app - Its a good setup - though you will need the detector hardware for most things to work.

don't you need the actual radar detector bit that sticks on the windscreen?

yes.

the app appears to be a trapster-clone otherwise!

im just curious as to know if it would work in australia really, ive downloaded the app aswell and im just browsing through the map and there is a fixed red light camera not too far away from me but from what i can see it doesnt show up on this map...

Im really curious as to know if this will work similar, if not better than trapster
