About Irish Safety Camera Locations
This app gives you advance warning when you approach one of the 500+ Garda Safety Camera locations (speed vans) dotted throughout Ireland.
The main features are:
1) Warns you when approaching a Garda safety camera location.
2) No data connection is required so there is no cost using this app.
3) Uses bare minimum of system resources and runs quietly in the background.
4) A speed camera icon in the status bar lets you know the app is running.
5) Warnings use sound, light and vibration to make sure you're informed and drive accordingly :)
6) This app warns of 500+ Garda safety van locations only (it doesn't include GATSOs, or Gardai at the side of the road d:) ).
7) It's totally free and contains no ads.

Many updates are suggestions from you the users (feel free to email me). Thank you for your generous feedback which is appreciated, listened to, and acted on :)
In the next release I plan to give you options to set how you want the app to act - more power to you!
Note that, no GPS signal = no location = no warning! So, when using this app please ensure the phone has visibility of the GPS satellites. Best location is screen mounted or atop your dashboard - & make sure it's securely fixed - you don't want your nice phone flying through the air when you hit the anchors, or do that J-turn like you saw in the movies :)
A big bonus is this app DOES NOT require internet access. So it won't cost you money, and it won't use up any of your data allowance. Once installed it simply uses your GPS location and an efficient database of safety camera locations to keep you protected.
This app is ultra-lightweight and uses the bare minimum of your phones resources (storage, memory, CPU, battery). Even when your phone screen has timed-out and is in sleep mode, this app continues to function. It sits quietly in the background, periodically checking your location, and warns you only when and where necessary. (Note that turning the screen on during an alert (introduced in version 1.2) will use a bit more battery)
Each warning consists of four parts:
1) A siren will sound on the phone
2) The phone will vibrate
3) The phones LED will flash (green, if your phone supports it)
4) A red speed camera icon will appear in the notification area
When you exit a zone there are 3 indications:
1) An "angelic harp sound" (thanks Steve!) plays
2) The red speed camera is removed from the Notification Area
3) The screen turns off (if it was off)
The app is designed to run in the background without you needing to interact with it. However, there is also a simple screen with 5 buttons which allow you to Start and Stop the app, view the speed camera locations (requires web browser and internet connection), 'Test Safety Camera Alert' and test the database is ok. This screen can be accessed by touching the app icon (safety camera icon) on your phone, or by selecting it from the notification area (if the app is already running).
The test button allows you to simulate entering a safety camera zone. Pressing the button creates a mock-warning, so you will know what to expect when it happens for real on the road!
From version 1.2, following user requests, the app will wake the screen up to show the warning notification, while also sounding and vibrating. As mentioned earlier, these will all be optional for version 1.3.
The 'Check Database' button will check the database is OK, it should be 100%, but if it's not you should uninstall and reinstall the app.
I am continuing to develop this app so if you have feature requests please let me know via email, and please leave feedback and a rating. I hope you like the app and it serves you well.
However you choose to go, GoSafe!

Bugfix: When unable to play sound media file it will give a visual indication that it's unable to play the file (instead of crashing the app (or your vehicle, lol!)).
The above error was reported this evening, thanks to the user for the report, reports are anonymous and help me improve the app :)

Плюс: приложение бесплатное, нет рекламы и платежей. Минус: нет значка с текущей скоростью и уведомлениями поверх другой навигационной программы. Только Ирландия.

I had used this for a few weeks and was happy with the apps performance but now it will not start the service as requested. It often takes reboot of device to start. GPS etc. Working but app won't start! Infuriating! Database might need to be updated too as I entered zones that the app did not warn about even though it said my copy of the database is up to date. Excellent when working but pity it's buggy to start. Keep up the good work &thanks for free app!

Reported camera van when there were none and did not sound when there was a camera van. I would do a better job myself.

Love this app,pity it won't work when connected to Bluetooth in the car,which is when people will need it most,sound does work when Bluetooth is off....Ok,with regards the issue with Bluetooth,go into your Bluetooth settings on your phone, and switch OFF,media audio,and it should sort this issue out....Also no alert in a couple of speed trap zones here in limerick,but still a good app to have on your phone.If you could also integrate a speedometer into the app,have my speed showing and the zone limit next to that,then maybe give a beep warning when you go over the limit in that particular zone.

A great app for when you are on the road a lot of the time like myself. I've been using it for over a year now & I've had no problems & it does work and it's simple to use. I have tried others and I've ended up getting rid of them. One little of detail that would be handy if it's possible to do. A little camera icon to flash up red with the speed limit on the home screen. Some areas I have driven a speed limit sign is no where to be seen. Keep up the good work. If there a way to make donations for the app

sound does not work when my phone is connected to blue tooth. Also did not pick up many of the area's where I would expect it to i.e. sections of road where speed vans often park as I pass the sign with the camera I would have expect the alarm to sound but it did not Is it suppose?. But thanks for trying to make something that might be of use.

Was going to uninstall but then started Waze and voila got warnings. I find it misses some on the Garda website page which is why I've deducted 2 stars, that and no mobile trap warning as on irishspeedtraps

As you're talking to the GPS anyway, put a big current speed on screen, maybe change the background colour while in a revenue generating zone. Make a mirror image option to allow a Head Up Display reflected in the windscreen. Selectable warning tones would be nice too. Thanks again for a very handy app!

The signs on the road , you know with camera picture on them are a good indicator of where cameras are likely to be.

This is fantsatic job and absolutely great for unfamiliar roads. One suggestion for the dev. When the alert comes on for the zone area, it will be ideal to have a reminder of the speed limit in the zone you in. Like a pop up screen picture ;-)

I only have installed it, so didn't have a chance to try it yet. But camera locations map doesn't work, no locations marked. And the map itself is tiny, and when you trying to zoom in, gives more detailed location but jumps back to tiny format immediately, so it's a nightmare trying to read on the map, which no camera's indicated on anyways! Don't see much point in it so.. P.S. have waited for few days, no respond on the matter from the provider... : Uninsalling!
