N95 Speed Camera Warning

For users of N95 8GB phones, the SpeedCam overlay on Nokia Maps does not appear at the bottom of the screen. This is a possible bug in Python, but as I don't have an N95 8GB phone I can't investigate. If someone with one of these phones has the Python Script Shell installed, can they enter print sysinfo.display_pixels() whilst in portrait mode and send the result to me, then I can code a fix.
The preferences screen currently has a N95 8GB yes/no setting but this is just a placeholder until I have a fix and currently does nothing.

At the suggestion of a user, the next update will include compass markings on the bearing dial.

Very good application .. beginning ;)

First of all I want to congratulate you for trying to corect the main thing that is missing in Nokia MAPS, the speedcam alert.

I have tested Speed Camera Warning on my N95 and I wanted to give you my feedback.

Compatibility with my N95-1 in french : OK
Compatibility with Nokia Maps 2 in french : OK
Working alert with french file I have built (http://www.mediafire.com/?djetx5zya20) : OK

Troubles :
- doesn't work in landscape mode
- alerts for any speedcam around the GPS position, even if not on the road or back of the car :(
- speedcam doesn't displayed in 3D map mode

I don't want to criticize your absolutely job, but just want to help improving it.

Thanks a lot. Pierre.

Hello, very nice application, please keep up the good work. I have N95-4 and the app is working well. (Except the overlay)..
Appreciate if u can please consider the below changes in your next release:

1.Sound(off/on/fixed) and speed limit check(all/off) settings are not being stored. When i open the app it always defaults to Fixed/Over.
2. fferent sound alerts for different GPS locations(so that we can use the app as a landmark database also)

I have installed your application into Nokia N82 (Italian language) and it works very well both with Nokia Maps and Route66 V8.

I want to thank you for your great job.

I have some feedback for you:

With speedcam in background and Maps in foreground, after the alerts the overlay doesnt appear on the main screen (display of Maps). If I want to see speedcam overlay I have to press 2.

Speedcam function only with A-GPS.

It would be appreciate if you can increase the numer of alerts sounds, for example: mobile, fixed, redlight, section speed, etc.

Thanks a lot. Marco.
