Hello Product Hunt, and thank you @afkehaya for hunting TrapTap - A wireless speed trap indicator.
I'm one of the makers of TrapTap here. Please send your questions if you have any.
TrapTap was created to be the simplest way to remind everyone to slow down, while also helping avoid getting caught in a speed trap. There have been many apps that offer a similar experience, but along with texting and driving laws these days, they offer a dangerous driving experience. With TrapTap, we wanted to bring a solution that was not only more safe than an app, but also more legal than a radar detector (most cities). In North America, the average person spends over $300 each year on speeding tickets.
TrapTap has pre-mapped all red light camera/speed traps and school zones in over 60 countries. For those hidden speed traps, mobile camera cars, and cop radar traps, it uses its community of users to help mark the location of these traps. Simply tapping on TrapTap will mark the location of each speed trap.
Please let me know what you think. I look forward to connecting with each of you and hearing your feedback.
We wanted to offer all Product Hunt members an exclusive offer on our Kickstarter. We wanted to give our sold out Crazy Bird Special tier to everyone here. Just pledge $100 CAD or $77 USD (includes shipping) to the 5 dollar tier level.

@bryce_north "In North America, the average person spends over $300 each year on speeding tickets. " — Hi, very interesting! Can't wait to try it.
Also, I was wondering where did you get this from? Can you please reveal your source?

@bryce_north Just saw this after I pledge the 109 CAD dollar tire level. Have changed pledge to 100 CAD to the 5 dollar tier level. Hope it works. Thank for the amazing product
@scottradamson Hey @scottradamson great question. We've mapped the red light cameras and school zones for over 60 countries and the variable spots are crowdsourced.
Cool, reminds me of the "Easy" button. Seems like it doesn't have anything to do with a Radar so potentially legal in every state per the site. I like the minimalistic design, nicely done.
@bryce_north - Congrats on the launch. How does the connectivity on this work? Does it have to be connected via your cellphone to get the Wifi connectivity (setup via BT)?
Though this description "TrapTap is completely legal (not a radar detector) and acts like your personal co-pilot, constantly warning you of danger." - Danger? If you are speeding, you are the real danger in this case =)
@sarthakgrover Hey thanks for the feedback and comments! Yes, TrapTap connects to the app via Bluetooth and gets its data from the app. Just to comment about data usage, our system actually uses less data and phone power than other GPS app types like Waze.
I agree and hopefully our speeding reminders can help with this. More so on that, for us, we see school zones as danger zones as the last thing anyone wants to do it accidently hit a kid who jumps out.
