Trapster 4.0 [Free - iTunes link] adds new features to the ticket-avoiding app:

  • Patrol, which highlights recently driven roads so you know the data is fresh.
  • New trap types like road kill, children at play, recent accidents, brush fires, ice, or floods, construction, etc.
  • Caravan, a real-time, location based, social network for and between Trapster users.

All this in addition to it's primary function -- alerting you, including via push notification, of radar speeding traps, traffic light cameras, and police check points.

If you give it a try, let us know how it works for you. Especially if it involves a great story about you narrowly avoiding a massive speeding ticket learning an important lesson about responsible driving.
