Posted by Sean P. Farrell in iPad, iPhone on November 30th, 2011
Today we released Trapster 4.5 for iOS! This update introduces NAVTEQ maps to our iOS users. Using this NAVTEQ map gives us the green light to tap into a HUGE amount of new data. You will notice improved map caching and real time traffic overlays. In addition, you will also be aware of the speed limit of the road you are currently driving on. You will be visually notified if the posted speed limit changes. Now if that isn’t cool enough, you will also notice the new speedometer! Monitor your speed, and receive visual notifications when your speed exceeds the posted speed limit. We are also rapidly recruiting new users from across the globe. To help them out, we have added two new languages: Arabic & Portuguese. To get 4.5, please visit www.trapster.com from your mobile device, or visit the App Store. Read the rest of this entry »

What is an EV charger?
An electric vehicle charger is responsible for recharging the battery banks in an electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid vehicle. EV chargers are installed in your house, office, shopping stores, and public places to enable one to charge their electric cars or plug-in hybrids. One needs more than 1 EV charger per vehicle as the driving distance between charges is limited and one would need to charge their electric vehicle before getting back home.

The safest way to use Trapster in your vehicle is to have your phone in a car mount. Here at Trapster HQ we have tested out several different mounts, and have found one to be our favorite.
RAM Mount makes car mounts for a wide variety of gadgets, including the iPhone 4 and the iPad. There are cheaper options, but we have found that usually with car mounts, you get what you pay for.
