Trapster - report speed trap, red light camera, POLICE TRAP/presence in real time

Hi guys.
I saw this program on the news a minute ago and the concept is really cool. With the builtin GPS or WiFi (how can WiFi be accurate!!!!), a user presses an auto/self configured button to report each of the 4 kinds of trap. When a user is at the vicinity of a trap, a shrill voice (builtin/self recorded) will announce the type of trap to the user. The web site is at http://www.trapster.com. Every body must have thought of this concept before (me included) but thank Jebus finally some body did it!!!
I just sent my X7500 back to get the MicroDrive fixed so don't have anything to test it with. Would some body with an Athena please try this program and report any problems using it on this particular device?
It's still in beta and free right now. However, if it becomes a subscription service, I wouldn'd mind paying for it. Provided that the fee is reasonable like the $20/year subscription fee of www.schedulesdirect.org If it is more than $20/year, I will have second thoughts.
How much would you pay for it?

Woah, who got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning?...

In the US it's a good idea - very sketchy in the UK at the moment and not as good as the PocketGPS ones or those available in Cameraware. But then they are free! Again, critical mass needs to be reached - in the US with very little alternative, it might be, in the UK I'm not so sure.
Just my 2d's worth.

I'm going to DL it and test it for ya bud. Thanks for the heads up with this s/w. And as "Con" said they're in the UK so they have other options we don't. I'll give feedbacks later on after I test it.

yea i just found this today. and did a search on here. jw if anyone has done this with the tmobile wing. i tried it but my phone said unsuccessful download. so i tried to download from my phone and it said its not pocket pc compatible. am i doing something wrong? sorry, kinda new to this forum.

Well after reading the how to on the website today, you have to actually dl it to the pc first and install it through active sync. I wasn't able to do it from work plus I didn't have my data cable with me in the office. I'll get around to it tonight tho and let you know how it goes.

i downloaded it to my pc, active syncd it, my phone screen popped up w/ a "yes" or "no". clicked yes. save to storage card. failed twice then said unsuccessful.

tried that too. keeps saying its unsuccessful.kinda disappointed with it.

tried that too. keeps saying unsuccessful download. very disappointing.

What a big disappointment!!! The concept is great but the Windows Mobile version of this program is still in *JUNK* status. It lacks many of most basic functions such as GPS configuration (port, baud, etc...) It installed alright on my Athena. However, when I ran it, it kept telling me "Can't get GPS location (87)..." while all of my other GPS apps (Google Maps, Live Search, CoPilot Live) that were running at the same time had no GPS problem at all. I'll wait for the next version before using it.
Edited: The GPS problem is most likely due to AP4...

I have downgraded my athena to ap3 and the gps problem is fixed. so the previous gps problem is because of ap4. with the athena, there's no good way to report redlight, etc... by key press as the athena's key assignment took precedent. However, the announcement is excellent though the volume is pretty low. I will have to re-record the alert messages.

Sorry for late chime - in
I didn't see these posts before.

We've now added the capability to connect to GPS directly via the COM port, in addition to the GPS Intermediate Driver (GPSID) method which is supposed to handle all that automatically. The problem with the direct COM port method is that the app (Google Maps, Live Search, CoPilot Live, and Trapster(R)) then "hogs" the GPS. This sort of sharing is what the GPSID was supposed to fix, but unfortunately in an attempt to block all apps that are not paid (like TeleNav etc.) carriers have gimped the config screens etc. I've seen COM port "splitter" programs but have not tested them personally.
What a big disappointment!!!

I think this fixes your main objection. Please give it another look and let us know what you think.
We also added (some other stuff relevant to Windows):
- a mobile site. Just go to trapster.com/m and you can sign up, sign in, and download right there.
- "Ack" feature for Windows Mobile and "CarPC" (which means just run on your laptop) If you are a regular Trapster user in any US metro area (where trap density is high) you will definitely appreciate the "Ack" feature. No more ears ringing "police often hide here"... you just hit Ack (or mapped voice command) and it mutes until you encounter a new trap.
- support for WiFi location mode in Vista.

Hey trapster,
Thank you for such a cool app. Once I get used to it, it's pretty cool to use. I used it in July while I was visiting Florida and it did saved me from being pulled over while driving through the Alligator Alley. I'm using it every day now. Pretty cool.
For us Athena users, while the key mapping is not working well, I found that we can put the trapster folder on Start menu and have it opened in the background with all command icons showing. I'm using it with CoPilot. When I see an incident I need to report, I simply click on the [OK] button to minimize CoPilot and click on the appropriate icon to report the incident. Then I click on CoPilot again to open it up over the trapster menu. It's workable. Wish Athena has more buttons or Trapster is integrated with Microsoft Voice Command. It would be sooo cool to click a button to activate Microsoft Voice Command and say "Report Live Police" and have everything else done for us.

Hi sumtingwong, thanks for the kind words and glad Trapster saved you a ticket in Alligator Alley (of course the way the enforcement system works, that just means someone else got pulled over instead, but...).
Stephen Skarlatos of Pocket Now wrote about Trapster being integrated with Microsoft Voice Command here:
http://www.pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=1051&p=1
and in there says:
I use Microsoft Voice Command to report traps. As example to report a live police activity, I initiate Voice Command and say "start report live police", which initiate the trapster report livepolice function.

Xperia from O2, no Google maps or Wayfinder?

Hi ................
I posted this question yesterday, but I might have posted in the wrong place, sorry!
I have the Xperia on contract from O2, excellent phone, I was under the impression that 'Google maps' and 'Wayfinder' were actually on the phone ready to use, Google maps I believe had a panel of it's own.
The phone I got last week didn't have either 'Google maps' or 'Wayfinder,' although an enclosed CD said 'Wayfinder' printed on the CD, it just contained Active sync and an electronic handbook.
I contacted Sony Ericson who informed me, that O2 had actually removed these utilities from the phone whilst branding it O2. I'd love to have Google maps, I even tried to install a panel for Google maps, but, it halted loading, saying it could not be installed on the Xperia!
Has anyone else had similar problems to this please?
Brian (Huddersfield)

m.google.com/maps in your xperia browser to easily download it for free - im pretty sure somewhere on the CD you will find Wayfinder - you just have to look through the folders if i recall

Hi .......
Thanks for the reply, no, I have searched both the phone and CD, it certainly is not there, when I tried to download Goole maps, a message box came up and said it cannot be installed on this Xperia!!?
As for Wayfinder, that is certainly not on the CD, but, apparently it was only a trial version anyway. That's not important as I use Co Pilot, it's just I'd like to use Google maps.
I installed it on my old XDA Orbit 2 and it works a treat, but, I suspect some kind of discovered software conflict, when O2 customise the Xperia for use on their network.
Anyone else in the same boat?
Brian (Huddersfield)

Comrade is exactly right on both points. You gotta search through the CD to find Wayfinder, and it's a bit counter-intuitive. But anyway, you probably shouldn't bother. Wayfinder is no good. You can actually get used to the poor interface and use it, but the big problem I found is lags. Turn-by-turn navigation at 65 MPH is no good when the phone is hanging as you speed past your intended turn. If you want something legal and downloadable, buy NDrive. It's very good.

Xperia from O2, no Google maps or Wayfinder!
....... I take it back about Wayfinder, Wayfinder is certainly not visible when using the 'O2' CD loader, but, browse the CD, under additional programmes, there is set of files named Wayfinder, strange that, you should have to manually search the CD for these install files.
As for Google maps, I searched and searched the Xperia many times looking for Google maps, when I tried to install directly from the Google site, I got a message box saying it could not be loaded onto this Xperia.
However, I found an eairler copy of Google maps compressed, I copied that to phone and it's up and running, I then tried to load it from a proper Google panel installed on the Xperia, it just hung, but, it seems to run fine by clicking on the Google file in programmes?
Anyone else here use the Xperia from O2?
Brian (Huddersfield)

try adding google maps to the start menu favarates.
dont use the panels they are rubbish.
ps. the new google maps has street view. i will check if i have the cab file and post it

this is the latest cab from the google website.
as for wayfinder, its not any good.
i use tomtom but that ndrive software is good too

Hello Ganodolf .........
Excellent, thanks for that, and it works a treat. I'd like to use Google maps in Thailand when I go in October, is it essential to have an internet connection for it to work? I'm not sure about GPRS or a high speed data connection when using a local SIM card (12 call) Thinking about it, I guess it does need a data connection, as it must load local maps for the location you are in I fear?
OK about Wayfinder, a few people have declared it as rubbish, I put Co Pilot on the Xperia and it seems to do the job, I'd like Tom tom, but can't afford it just yet.
Finally, what does it mean with Google maps, when they say street level?
Thanks
Brian (Huddersfield)

street view: some citys in the uk (and around the world) have been photoed so that u can put in a address and seem to walk down the street and look around a street

.....That sounds amazing, on the Google maps I just installed from you, I looked where I live, here on the outskirts of Huddersfield (someone has to live here!!!) and I can zoom right into my house and see a view as if I was above the street maybe 100 feet or so, is that what you meant?

............... Yes, it's amazing really, links with GPS like a dream, an excellent programme, thank you very much.
Are there any other worthwhile programmes for the Xperia, I installed the battery monitor that put a coloured line across the top of your screen to show battery level more accuraly, that's great too.
Brian (Huddersfield)

there is a battery icon set that make the x1 show battery in 1%s and it just overrides the original 10% (no program needed)
have a search in the x1 section u should find it with a how to install

CoPilot Live Update For HD2

Has anyone installed the newest update of CoPilot for the HD2 (8.0.0.659-2577) who had the regular version (8.0.0.620-2577-tts) installed? I know you lose TTS, but what do you gain? Would it be worth spending $5.50 to add TTS to the newest HD2 version?
-Bob-

I'm installing it right now, but it doesn't seem to get finished for a while.
It's been going on for 30 minutes, and the install-bar doesn't show any progress yet...
This should be interesting!
Ill keep you posted!

It got finished at last
I waited for half an hour, but i got tired and pressed the start button, and closed every program that was running. After stopping the last program, the install pooped up, and asked me where I wanted to install the program. After that, it took 5 seconds, a restart, and finito'!

I did an update this afternoon without any problems. It was free for me. I unzipped the files on my Mac, copied the folder over to the memorycard and autoplay startet the installation when i put the memorycard back in the phone. No problems at all. Installation finished in seconds.

CoPilot Update
Installed the update this afternoon. No problems at all.
Also installed 'text to speech' and 'live traffic' update. Again no problems.

Weren't you charged for TTS? According to the website it's an additional $5.50US. Or did I miss something?
-Bob-

Hi
I've had it installed for nearly 3 weeks now and yes I paid for the TTS and
the Live services and I've got to say poor old tomtoms not been used since.
Its had a LOT of use the last couple weeks and it really is very very good.
I've had no delays or funny little quirks at all.
I wasn't convince the TTS was going to be much more than a gimmick
but its been really useful.
I honestly can't fault it now I've got used to it.

Whats the difference between pan eu and eu major updates?

Those who have installed the new HD2 version over the old STANDARD version (not the pre-installed HD2 version)...any registration/license issues?

Hi!
I installed the HD2 version over the trial version. I did only get problems!
I told me " error; License Invalid. Please contact support at
(link to support.alk)* for more information. (-709)", so I tried to contact CoPilot on mail and twitter. After a few mail, I got these instructions;
*I can't post links...
1) Can you uninstall CoPilot first by going into SETTINGS | REMOVE PROGRAMS and uninstall all CoPilot items (you might find two there).
2) Once completed, delete the \CoPilot folder on your Storage card
3) Extract the ZIP file again to the root of the storage (if done correctly you should see a 2577 and CoPilot folder at the root of your Storage Card)
4) Then in File Explorer browse to \Windows and delete the file called
liccp8.dat (I couldn't find this exact file, but there was a file, with a similar name, "licp8.dat", so I deleted that one)
- You may also have to go into \Program files, and delete anything from CoPilot there as well!
5) Once completed, browse to \Storage Card\2577 and tap the copilot.wmppc.cab to install
6) Launch CoPilot and you will be asked for your Product Key Code which is *****-*****-*****-*****-*****
7) You will also be asked to activate and create a CoPilot ID email address and password
This worked for me!

Well not in the UK anyway
I got the email from alkservices on the 22nd of March
and upgraded straight away cause I'm like that
Oh and no registration issues either
which was nice

I'm sorry, I may not have made myself clear. I am currently running the standard, licensed version of CoPilot, which I installed over the pre-installed version (which was also licensed) that came with the HD2. My main questions are:
1. Has anyone else running the standard, licensed version (not the pre-installed HD2 version) installed this new HD2 version? If so, were there any licensing issues?
2. When you did the install over the standard, licensed version, did you delete the old version first?
2. Has anyone noticed any additional features that were not in the original HD2 version OR the standard version? The standard version, for instance, does not link to the Footprints functions of the HD2. I'm assuming that the link exists in the new HD2 version.
Hope that makes things clearer.
-Bob-

Rebeker
With my supplied HTC HD 2 the CoPilot was on the accompanying storage card. I discarded this and installed the separately purchased CD Version of CoPilot on my own replacement 16Gb card.
To answer your questions:
1. Obviously I am running the fully licensed version and there were no licensing issues.
2. Obviously most of the old version software was discarded with the removal of the supplied storage card so I did not bother to delete the old supplied version.
3. I do not use the Footprints function.
I am absolutely delighted with the enhanced CoPilot with speed limits, Live Traffic information and the text to speech additions, etc etc

Telenav, not CoPilot
I received my T-MO HD2 today, and it has Telenav, not CoPilot, installed. I have a licensed version of CPL 8 on my TouchPro2, so tomorrow I'll figure out how to transfer it over. I do NOT like Telenav!

Navigator Maps - No Postcode entry?

I can't figure a way of using UK postcodes to enter a destination? Am I missing something? Or is the software basically useless?
Anyone with any pointers on how to do this? Please just tell me I am being dim. Otherwise I will stick with Copilot.

Sorry about the bump, but this is ridiculous!
Looking for PE22 0TU for example
OK, so if you enter a postcode (PE22 0TU) it won't find it. You then have to enter a partial postcode with no spacing (PE220), it won't find it.
But if you then press the blank result in the screen, not the search field, the bit that has an exclamation point followed by "Search for xxxx" it then comes up wiht a list of postcodes.
However, it is not the full list of postcodes and there are many it does not know about - PE22 0TU for one.
Absolute rubbish.

I'd like to know how to use it as well, as currently I find it pretty useless finding anything.

Got to agree, it's generally pretty crappy I think.

I've found this too. But Navigator doesnt bother me as much as it google maps though, where again it doesnt find postcodes for some reason. I've already got a tomtom so wont use navigator much, but google maps is (would be) great when i'm out and about in the city on foot.

agreed! atm I have paid ~£50 for the Navigon as it does postcode search and allows for traffic (i wasnt getting traffic thru copilot so i got a refund for it
it would also be nice to use Locations as it does not disappear when you get a phone call!
so far then it looks like i'm not the only one with this problem...at first i just wondered if i was missing how to do it.
I am not a programmer so dont know how easy this would be to implement:
Export the lat/long from Google maps into HTC Locations. This would require a data connection for a couple of minutes (while using Google maps) but would be a nice work around

That is really odd, because I have never had Google Maps not find a post code. Do you have an example?

I have been using Google Maps to navigate via post code and it was worked fine, I have had no trouble using postcode search within google maps, what happens when you try it?

i dont suppose any1 has found a solution to this yet? I've been trying hard but have come to nothing

I have just noticed this myself this morning.
I was really hoping to use the Navigation thing for all my satnav needs but without postcode entry its rubbish.
You can't even search for a street name without first putting in the city where it is.
Glad they give you a 30 day trial of it before needing to purchase.

I'm not having any problem with postcode entry in Navigator? Start navigating, select Set Destination and put the postcode in without spaces. Seems to work fine. I even tried PE22 0TU which was mentioned above and it locates and navigates to it fine.

Are you guys talking about navigation, (the google st nav), or locations/car panel, (the htc sat nav)?
Postcode in the htc one is rubbish and as you say doesnt work. Seems you have to type the address in and it finds it.
Postcode search on the google one works fine for me.
I wont be paying for the htc one after my 30 day trial is up, shame really as its a nice bit of kit but at the moment not very user friendly

Me, I'm just confused by the sheer number of navigation apps on the phone... Navigation, Car Panel, Location, Google Maps, Footprints...
But if you mean the app that is just called Navigator then it finds postcodes for me...
Search is too confusing too... Search Anywhere, Search People, Google Search, Search, Quick Lookup and then there's the search button...

Locations is the app made by HTC and TomTom in partnership. People everywhere are experiencing problems with it's post code search.
I am not sure who dropped the ball on this, HTC or TomTom, but until there is an update enabling this feature the application is virtually useless.
I have contacted HTC customer support and there only answer was, "it is a brand new application, released not so long ago and so, is still full of bugs."
Its not exactly nice to hear that when you have just paid over £400 for a phone.
Anyway... I remember that the TomTom in my car once lost all the post codes after an update. You can download a file from TomTom support and install it to regain post code search.
What I am hoping is that as the locations app does already support post code search, and is based on the TomTom maps/data, that some genius can add this full postcode database to the locations app.
I have no idea how to do this except what I have posted here. I'm hoping that some smart guy/girl will come along and do the hard part now!
I did post links to relevant information but apparently I dont have the right privileges to link external sites

[WARNING] To all CoPilot users

Dear CoPilot users,
Over the last month I have been having a bit of a battle with the makers of CoPilot 8, ALK, with regards to my license which I purchased in early 2010.
Like many of you here, I'm a bit of a compulsive phone updater, be it new windows builds, android or this new android NAND stuff.
Anyway, every time I flashed a ROM, I'd have to reactivate Co-Pilot over the internet. No problem. However, one day, it stopped working, saying that my code was invalid!! Much to my horror, I sent ALK an e-mail asking what had happened. Here was my response.
Discussion Thread
---------------------------------------------------------------
Response (Brandt) - 08/11/2010 11.45 AM
Dear Jon,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
Unfortunately the reason why you are no longer able to continue activating CoPilot is our Activation server has seen that you have reached the maximum permitted activation limit for a product.
Unfortunately there is nothing further I can do to unlock your Product Key Code to allow for further activations as this falls under excessive uses of activation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I didn't realise I could only activate so many times before the product was no longer mine. So I did some fishing through my T&C's for CoPilot 8 and there is no actual figure to indicate what "the maximum permitted activation limit for a product" is.
So I replied with an e-mail to that effect, saying that there is nothing in black and white for me to have known this. A month later they finally got back to me and said that I can now reactivate my code.
Now - I can understand what's happened. From their server's point of view, lots of people could be using my code on a large number of devices. So how do you get around this?
Well, every time you go to flash a new ROM, **MAKE SURE YOU DEACTIVATE YOUR LICENSE FIRST**!!
In settings (assuming you have show all settings selected), you will see a license button. Select your map in the list of things and press deactivate.
If you do this then you will be okay. But I suspect ALK will be updating their T&C to prevent this from occurring again.
Anyway, I hope that saves some of you from some potential trouble in the future.

why dont you backup & restore using titanium?
works for me
as far as im aware the activation code is linked to your phones IMEI, so it doesnt matter how many times you change your build, (with the same os) if restoring from backup

this is common practice with drm'd software.
the solution is just not to use it.

In The windows ver .. there is a file called : licp8.dat
That keeps your lic Info ...
Wonder if there is one for thr Android ???
then it will not matter
Just Found This ..
Requirements:
- A *LEGAL* copy of CoPilot 8 for Windows Mobile and the license key
- The latest version of CoPilot 8 for Android (works in Froyo now) Link to ALK Web Site
I bought it about 8 months ago for my HD2, for Windows Mobile 6.5. Great piece of software. I contacted ALK to ask if I could transfer between OS's and they said no, it wouldn't work! It also clearly states on their web site that transfers don't work:
Link
So being stubborn, I thought I'd take my own license from WinMo and deactivate it, stick it into Android and needless to say - it works and I have a fully legal copy of CoPilot 8 running on my Android Froyo device. Those cheeky beggers at ALK!!!
So how to get it working:
•Make sure you still have CoPilot installed under Windows Mobile and activated;
•Launch CoPilot. Go to the Menu|Settings|Licensing (NOTE: If you can't see this, find "More Settings" and select that first to show Licensing);
•Select your Map Region from the list (Mine was UK and Ireland), then press "Deactivate";
•CoPilot will now shut down;
•Boot into Android and using an installer, install the APK file which is in the requirements section at the top of the page or here;
•Open CoPilot from the Menu and it will ask for your license info. Enter this as you did when you first bought CoPilot (usually a username and password);
•Bada Bing. That should be it, all working!
Just to clarify one further time, this is only for legally purchased licenses. No questions about dodgy software please. Thank you.
