PhantomAlert Announces New GPS Based Warning System
By Anuradha Shukla TMCnet Contributing Editor
PhantomAlert has released free distribution of its GPS-based database that locates and warns drivers about stationary red-light and speed cameras as well as traditional speed trap locations.
By using GPS, PhantomAlert red light, speed camera detector maps out the locations of all known traffic enforcement locations. The company says the location database is loaded on a GPS product similar to a radar detector. The new device can store 150,000 positions in its database and all cameras and speed traps in North America are covered.
Joe Scott, PhantomPlate’s director of marketing, said in a statement that designed to work with PhantomPlate’s new PhantomAlert device, the proprietary database is the biggest breakthrough motorists have seen since radar detectors.
Developed with input from motorist themselves, the proprietary database is a dynamic source of up-to-date information that is verified by thousand of drivers who have intimate knowledge of the enforcement locations. Priced at $219.00 the 0.5 Lb unit is available through PhantomAlert’s Website or network of affiliate resellers.
The company further explains that speed camera locations are divided into different data sets, to distinguish between fixed speed cameras, mobile camera positions, red light cameras, schools, and high collision areas. Some of these groups can be sub-divided by the PhantomAlert GPS speed camera detector by speed limit, and allocate a voice alert.
PhantomAlert can easily detect Gatso, Truvelo, SPECS, Speedmaster, DS2 (News - Alert), traffic light cameras, high traffic collision areas and all other permanent safety cameras. Although the detector gives an over-speed warning in close proximity to the camera if exceeding the speed limit, it will automatically mute when within the speed limit. Because the driver is advised of only cameras on their immediate route, it negates false alerts. Also, the drivers are advised as they approach high collision areas.
