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 »

Trapster Goes Green: EV Charging Station Added
Trapster has gone green! We’re excited to announce our newest POI, EV Charging Station. This will mark electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructures that delivers electric fuel to EV’s around the globe. In an effort to help our green driving friends get from point A to point B in their electric vehicles, Trapster users can now locate and mark charging stations.
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.

Posted by Sean P. Farrell in Android, Traps, iPhone on March 18th, 2011
Trapster users will notice a new hazard appearing on the trapmap, the Road Hazard. We already provide you with a number of hazards to report, but they are very specific. The new “Road Hazard” trap will be for all of the hazards you come across that are not defined with Trapster’s other hazards.
An example would be a dirty mattress lying in the fast lane on the freeway, since Trapster does not have a “Dirty Mattress” trap type, you would choose the “Road Hazard” trap type. Lets take a look at our official definition: Read the rest of this entry »
