Re: Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

What about an option to display a large semi-transparent figure over the top of the ovi maps screen? That way, you can still see the maps and the speed cam warning will be hard to miss too... :D

merci pour ce super prog !

Re: Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

great idea if its possible.... an option to choose the transparancy would be fantastic!

Re: Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

I can't seem to find an option to enable a sound when a speed cam is approaching. My n900 just vibrates...

I've thought about a few improvements :

-Instead of displaying the distance remaining to the speedcam, a 5 step status bar could be displayed on the upper side of the screen. 5 dots lighting green then red when very close. Just like in Need for speed hot pursuit when the police car is closing...

1 ooooo (idle)
2 oo0oo *bip*
3 o000o
4 00000 *bipbip*
5 00000 *bibibip* + blinking

Do'nt get me wrong, tho ! i dont encourage that kind of crazy driving like in the game ;), it's just that icons speak more to me than distance in meters, which are a bit imprecise, because of the delay due to the gps, and because the radar coordinates are often not very precise either)

Another idea would be, if the speed limitation of each radar can be obtained, the lights lighting green if your speed stays under the limitation, and lighting red when you are speeding.

I second the idea of displaying a big icon of the speed limitation, like a round sign circled in red with the speed limit displayed in the middle.

Last but not least, the data displayed on the screen at the moment (gps coordinates, radar name, etc.) is quite unreadable when driving, so its better not to display anything or display it bigger.

Again i want to thank Tahitibob ! This is a great project, and i hope you are looking into continuing it =) Merci m'sieur !

jacktanner:
gpx

I have a fresh build supporting asc and csv as import format.
I will publish it as soon i can test it.

There will not be more improvements soon, because I'm working on the successor of qypy.

Re: Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

ok we'll have to wait, then :)
good luck with qypy =)

Re: Roadrunner alerts You about speed cameras
 

roadrunner 0.1.0-14 (in extras-testing) supports KMZ format.
Thanks for this link, Bernd.
