Hi ProductHunt π Copdrop links to police radar detectors using the iPhone microphone to show speed trap locations to the public for free. It has turn-by-turn navigation that is voice-guided and traffic-aware. Copdrop currently supports 27 radar detector models. In 9 days, we've welcomed 6,000 users and are now Top 25 in the Navigation category!
Amazing product, as someone who drives with a radar I'm blown away with how you thought of this,hope this goes places. btw, y'all hiring?

Definitely going to be watching this project. The interesting ideology behind the idea would love to learn more. Have been using in NC where I met the development team at a local car event.
Question for Developer:
What made you start this project?
Pros:
Great app for large cities where lots of drivers use navigation apps.
Has been great in police traps throughout my midsize in NC.
Cons:
Satellite and Terrain maps needed
Leader boards would be great!
Still needs more data to work outside major cities

I'm excited to see newcomers to the navigation game, specifically in the form of crowdsourced police radar detections. I can't wait to see the cultural impact Copdrop brings as they continue to develop + grow!
Pros:
Easy-to-use, improves driving experience, and could challenge industry titans
Cons:
Only on iOS at the moment

Is there a way you add the directional arrows from a valentine one & also use it Bluetooth for setting the radar alerts. I drive a convertible where the radar detector isnβt visible to me. I used to use StealthAssist to give me arrows, speed, etc on my iPhone screen which is visible in my car

Andrew Falchook, as someone already said, it's really hard and I'm sure it is not enough to rely on software tricks and algorithms. If you really want to not be "caught", you should consider on hardware (actual anti-radars). Of course, there are a lot of really good manufacturers, so every radar has itβs pros and cons, and the best comparison article Iβve ever found on the web isβ - βhttps://bestforacar.com/top8-rad... β¦ It really shows every product from all sides.
