Many navigation systems include speed camera detectors.
Speed camera locations are increasing, not just in the United States but in other countries as well. New speed cameras use satellite technology to quickly and reliably gather information to catch speeders.
GPS Technology
Maintained by the United States government, the Global Positioning System (GPS) utilizes a space-based global navigation satellite system (GNSS) to provide reliable location data, including determining geographical points, getting driving directions and accessing other data. GPS satellites allow free access to any of this information to anyone with a GPS receiver, in accordance with federal and state laws.
Speed Cameras with GPS Capability
A speed camera equipped with GPS capability utilizes its camera to capture license plate data and track vehicles. The technology provides faster access to other information related to vehicles found to be breaking speed limits. GPS technology supplies data from satellite feeds, such as location, traffic and other information.
Speed Camera Detectors
As further development of the technology makes it easier for the authorities to catch speeders, speed camera detectors (similar to radar detectors) are also becoming increasingly popular. These detectors alert motorists to speed cameras installed along highways. In addition to speed detectors sold as independent units, many in-car satellite navigation systems, PDAs and mobile phones have or can download speed camera detection programs.
