How-To Get Driving Directions With Speed Trap Locations
We know that when heading out on the open road you have many different resources for getting your driving directions. From Expedia.com to Google Maps, the internet is flooded with map services that all seem to do the same thing but in different ways. However, we can say with certainty that no other website gives you driving directions like Trapster.com.
Because not only are you getting turn-by-turn directions, an easy print feature, and estimates for time and distance, but we also give you every speed trap, red light camera, and police hiding spots along the way.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to get driving directions on Trapster.com.
How-To Get Driving Directions on Your iPhone
Lost, my friends think it’s my middle name. So most people are not surprised to learn that I think computer generated driving directions to be the best invention to ever come about. I live and breathe Google Map’s driving directions.
But most of you guys don’t know that the Trapster iPhone app utilizes Google Maps and can provide the same driving directions we know and love while we’re running the app for speed trap alerts. Essentially it’s a one-stop-shop, which I find to be fabulous, because now I can run Trapster to avoid unnecessary tickets and get directions to any destination my heart desires.
If you’re not familiar with the driving directions feature on Trapster, you’re missing out on some great stuff. We all know the iPhone’s biggest flaw is only being able to run one app at a time. So to have an app that serves multiple functions is key. That’s why we built Trapster to include the trap info you need, the driving directions you love, and the ability to record road trips, search (who doesn’t need a taco shop at 2am?), and view traffic.
For this post I’ll explain the driving directions feature. Read the rest of this entry »
