Speedtrap Mash-Up

For all you pedal to the metal drivers in the Greater Toronto Area, there’s a new tool to avoid being caught for speeding.
XYYZ.com is offering a free mash-up using Google Maps and GPS technology, although you have to sign up to use it. Here’s a take from Download.com:
“This male targeted mashup pinpoints the locations more commonly home to hidden police cruisers with radar on their minds. By clicking on cars, users are presented with a description of where they are normally situated. Ok, so this map is great when you are sitting on your computer, but what about when you are out on the road, good luck remembering all these locations. No need to fret, there is a data download that can be imported into GPS devices.”
More coverage can be found on CTV.ca.
















The sad fact is that many people are victims of illegal speed traps but few will hire a lawyer to fight the ticket.
