Trapster’s Favorite Car Mount
Posted by Sean in Android, BlackBerry, Nokia, Windows Mobile, iPad, iPhone, webos on September 1st, 2010
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. Ram Mounts are built from high strength composite & powder coated marine grade aluminum, which makes them more durable than car mounts made of plastic. Read the rest of this entry »
Trapster 4.3.5 for iPhone with Auto Off
Now that you can run Trapster in the background on the iPhone 4 and 3GS, we have had some complaints about Trapster speeding up the use of your battery. Even though we have been telling everyone to shut down Trapster when you are not driving, some users still didn’t know how to close apps that were running in the background.
Version 4.3.5 solves this problem for all! If Trapter is running in the background, and does not detect any movement for 10 to 15 minutes, the app will automatically shut down.
So if you haven’t already, please update to the latest version of Trapter by visiting iTunes.
We also fixed some annoying bugs:
– Map view zoom level will now launch at correct level.
- Corrected issues related to push notifications while the app was paused.
If you have any questions or suggestions for us, please visit our support forum and don’t forget to follow us on facebook & twitter.
