It is often said, by those who have been affected, that in many cases, speed cameras are more to collect, than to ensure road safety. Well, with the application radarbot We can ease the workload on these speed controls.
A complete application that offers us a multitude of functions in its interface to avoid these types of fines, and all this within the reach of an Android device. It has full coverage throughout the Spanish territory, and has a quite active community that warns and details the location of radars or traffic controls.
A totally legal system
There is no need to worry about the legality of this app, since for the purposes of the law it is totally legal. It fulfills a double, which we will detail below. The first one is its reason for being, a radar detector that locates your position and it notifies us in advance of all the information such as the speed and the veracity of its activity.
On the other hand, we can also be the precursors of warning about controls or radars, which will be able to confirm users who pass through the area. The app shows a map with our current location, and immediately loads the points to be highlighted, such as if there are radars or the traffic volume, For example.
At this point, we also have the option to see where the cameras are located, with real-time images that can be shared with family or friends. It also detects radars of all kinds, such as fixed radars, mobile radars, tunnels, etc. What's more, we accumulate points to get a great reputation in the community when it comes to publishing new radars.
Other features to highlight
The interface is divided into several sections. Firstly, the map appears, with all the options display and the icons with the different warnings; if we slide to the right, we have the latest alerts in the area, be it radars or police controls; and finally, a speedometer that is noteworthy.
It is a good complement to know both the current speed we are carrying, as well as the average speed of a journey traveled. In this meter, the data is displayed numerically and graphically, something that can come in handy if we approach one of those not so desired radars.
Not all options are free
The truth is that the app, despite the great features it offers us, has a series of limitations that are corrected if we acquire the Pro version. Such advantages are, to a lesser extent, the automatic update of the databases or automatic start of the app through Bluetooth, and to a greater extent, the visual alerts in the background, useful in case we're driving.
