Every year, fines for violations on the roads are being tightened. Cars, on the other hand, only become more powerful and faster, speed becomes less noticeable and it is very easy to exceed speed. Sometimes drivers themselves do not even notice how this happened, and then a fine comes in the mail.
A radar detector is a device that interferes with radar and does not measure the speed of a vehicle.
In Russia, the use of such devices is prohibited, you can earn a large fine. In addition, the equipment itself will also be taken away.
There are many devices that will help you learn about the approach of a stationary radar, camera: DVR, navigator, radar detectors. All of these devices make life easier for the driver, minimizing costs.
Of course, they are effective, but the cost for them starts from 4 thousand rubles, so not every driver is ready to fork out for an expensive device.
Therefore, there are many applications - radar detectors that perform the same function, but most often absolutely free.
They notify about approaching cameras if they are loaded into the database. To do this, use GPS in the phone or other device. All data of the coordinates of the location and location of the cameras are taken into account.
Their cost most often does not exceed 200-300 rubles, which, you see, is many times less than the price of a radar.
Applications operate mainly on Android (this is the system software of the phone).
