Speed Camera Warning - Version 4.0

When v4.0 is first started it creates a file called scLang.txt that contains the list of English langauge words used by the app. If you add extra records to this file with the equivalent words in another language, then this language can be selected from the Language option in SpeedCam. Exactly the same number of words must be listed in the file or an error will be reported. Use words of a similar size to the English words or the presentation will be affected. If you create a file and email it to me then it can be made available to other people.

A camera bearing angle can now be optionally added to each speedcam record - see the speedcam_example.txt file. This angle is not the angle the camera is pointing, but the bearing of traffic it captures. This is because some cameras types capture oncoming traffic, others outgoing traffic. E.g a North facing camera capturing traffic travelling North would have an angle of 0 degrees, whereas a North facing camera capturing traffic travelling South would have an angle of 180 degrees. This facility allows SpeedCam to avoid raising unnecessary alerts.

This version is a single SIS file. It does a conditional install on appswitch, locationrequestor, landmarks modules in case these have already been installed. A previous installation of SpeedCam must be uninstalled otherwise an update error occurs. Note that an oddity of the conditional install is that if you install V4.0 over itself when it previously installed the other modules they will no longer be present, so install V4.0 again and they will be present.

Helo,

Today I installed your application on N95 8GB. I'll test it tomorrow, but now I found one problem - because I live in Poland, in program settings I try to set kmph instead of mph - program after re-run backs to mph.
Regards,
