Speed Trap is the Android app designed to warn you about the presence of speed cameras, overtaking checkers and mean speed checkers. It has been designed to work with other navigation software like Google Navigator with a minimal user interface. There is a free version without any ads. It provides vocal and sound advice with range indication and "ceased alert". The import is done via file so you can update the "poi" list at whatever time and you can modify it adding or removing points. It does not need any extra authorization. The search of points is done via angular sectors. You can configure: fixed and mobile speed camera, overtaking checkers, red lights, mean speed checkers and speed boxes. It gives the indication of database items loaded and last update date/time. It works offline. It can turn on your screen only when real needed to save your battery. You can start automatically an app according to your preferences, for example your preferred navigation app. You can load the files via cloud. With the pro version you can use the map editor to add/remove points, no traffic zones, advice with vibration, file concatenation, activation widget from home and lock screen, auto start/stop with bluetooth, integration with Locale/Tasker/AutomateIt/Atooma and vocal assistant as Google Now, interaction directly from your smartwatch and much more!

You have to load a database the first time. Speed Trap does not contain any default speed cameras database.
Yes it is. When you load a new file, if the file is valid, the internal database for that category is erased and then reloaded. The last update date is updated.
Yes you can delete them.
You have to do a long-click on the category and then select "Delete". In this way you erase all points.
No, they aren't. Private points are deleted only when you use the "Delete" menu.
It's not a bug, but it is due to the Android text-to-speech management. In this case, for better user experience, use the sounds.
You can increase the volume of media channel. If it does not work, it can due to your TTS settings. Change the TTS engine and/or your default voice.
Speed Trap is not a navigation app, it does not use any kind of map, so it's possible. Tune the angular sector width to have a better detection.
Due to a Drive bug, when you load a CSV file with Google Drive app, the MIME type of the file is changed and it cannot be parsed any more by Speed Trap. Load the files via Google Drive web interface.
OneDrive does not support the MIME text/csv yet, so it is not possible use it to load CSV files with Speed Trap.
Starting from Android 4.3, it should be possible to select more than one files from external apps, but some apps are not yet compliant with Google API. Open a bug report for the related app. With Google Drive, instead, there is a limitation in the API and it is not possible to select more than one file.
Speed Trap repeats the sound to let you know the distance from the point. If you set 1000 meters as main distance, Speed Trap will use the sound one time when the point is detected between 1000 and 500 meters, two times when it is detected between 500 and 250 meters and three times when it is detected between 250 and 0 meters. If you set 500 meters as main distance, Speed Trap will use the sound one time when the point is detected between 500 and 250 meters and two times when the point is detected between 250 and 0 meters. The sound is used only one time if the main distance is 250 meters.
Speed Trap uses the default icon (i.e. the box) when the speed either was not available in the file for that point or it had a wrong format.
Use Auto Speed Trap / Automate Speed Trap / Speed Trap for Atooma to build your own warnings.
The speed variable is zero when either the detected point has not got a speed due it is nature (for example it is a no traffic zone) or the speed is not available for that point.
Due to Android limitation Speed Trap can not delete files on external MicroSD card starting from Android 4.4. Put temporary your files in your internal storage.
