GPS-powered speed trap early warning system

If you need to cross Europe or get from point to point in a hurry this may be an essential resource for you. It's a GPS-based early warning system for speed traps and speed camera locations in Europe. The system features a downloadable database fixed radar installations, as well as areas known for mobile radar operation. The system is capable of holding up to 10,000 possible trapping points in memory.

As you approach an area covered by a speed-trap the early warning system will set off a series of beeps and flashing lights to warn you to slow down. A version for cars has been available for sometime but now there is a version avaiable for motorcycles.

The English site has not been updated as of yet, but the French version (translated via Google) has more information. It's also notable that there are no laws against this type of device, as it's not actually a radar detector.
