Been caught speeding lately? Sick of getting points deducted? Tired of donating your money to the government money making scams that are termed "safety cameras"? Tchart development does not endorse driving at excessive speed but like many we have been nabbed going slightly over the speed limit. GPS Speed Sentry was developed to provide a subtle warning mechanism that you are exceeding the speed limit. This is particularly helpful on those long road trips when you should be watching the road and not your speedometer. GPS Speed Sentry is more than just a GPS enabled speed monitor/car computer. it monitors your current speed and warns you when you are near or go over one of 6 user defined speed limits, the latest version of the software can also provide warnings about approaching speed cameras. It also allows you to view other GPS derived information on a series of displays. Other information includes current/top/average speed, a trip meter, an odometer, elevation, position, bearing and much more. Features - 6 User specified speed limits - Audible warnings for over the speed limit and nearing speed limit (these can be muted) - Speed camera warnings (via CSV database) - All sounds can be customised by the user - Units can be in imperial or metric, various combinations can be used (e.g. speed mph & elevation in metres) - Position can be shown in various formats including ordnance survey grid and easting/northing's (for the united kingdom) as well as maidenhead grid locators - Various easy to read information displays (see below) - Large buttons which allow easy changing of display/speed limit (using your finger or stylus) - Day/night colour schemes - Support for portrait and landscape orientations - Support for square screen devices (e.g. hp 6515) - Windows Mobile 5/6 support (including soft keys and GPS sharing functions) Displays The information displayed by GPS Speed Sentry includes; - Current speed (in knots, mph or km/hr) - Average speed - Top speed - Trip meter - Odometer - 3D compass view also shows bearing and direction - Speed graph also shows current speed limit - Elevation graph - Current latitude and longitude coordinates (in various formats) - Number of satellites locked & in view - Satellite sky plot - Satellite reception bars - GPS fix type (fix/no fix/2d/3d) - Data validity - Coordinated universal time (UTC) date/time & local date/time - Ordnance Survey Great Britain grid reference - Maidenhead Grid Locator Awards GPS Speed Sentry was nominated and became a finalist (top 3) in the GPS utilities category of the Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine's "Best Software Awards 2006".
