does anyone know of any decent apps that will warn you when you are approaching fixed placement cameras?

Even better any devices to warn you of radars?

I run android and Tom Tom is not available for Australia

I have a radar/laser detector but with a drivefrom Brisbane to Melbourne coming up I want a little more protection. I really don't wantto ahveto drive 100k/h the entire trip

It be worth looking at buying a nav a cheap one seeing there so cheap just get you through. Where did you source your radar detected

I used to use Trapster but haven't for a while. I remember reading somewhere that it was no longer working. Not sure the reason why.

Edit: It no longer appears on the apple app store so I'm guessing no.

Trapster is shutting down over the next few months.
Wake is quite good, IME.

If you're travelling the Pacific Highway, the real problem is travelling through the Northern Rivers towns, where 50 km/h restrictions abound. Also watch out for driving through school zones.

We've made the trip down from Brisbane to the Southern Highlands a number of times. We have always left Brisbane really early, so we're clear of the tradies and "going to school" traffic on the Gold Coast, and we get off the highway well before nightfall. We normally stop at Buladelah. An 8:30 start the next morning lets us negotiate the Sydney motorways after the morning rush, so this takes off some of the strain, too.

In my opinion, if you don't have a partner to share the driving, even travelling at the speed limits for extended periods is very tiring on our second and third-rate highways. They're not Autobahnen. Take a break or change drivers every 1 1/2 hours and take your time. Save the fast stuff for the track at the weekends. Have a safe trip.

The radar detector was ordered from the US. A friend brought it with him on a trip over last year.

Just for the record blauweisser I am not trying to drive 200kph down there i just don't want to get nicked for 4 k's over (had two tickets in the last year for less than 5ks over when the limit changed).

I will be driving straight though from Brisbane to Melbourne but may stop to take a nap in the car. Unfortunatly its the only way as my dog is going with me and I can't put him up in a hotel.

I looked for an APP call wake and can't find anything in the Google Play Store.
