When
you’re driving from Metro Ford of Madison in your new car , all of your attention should be focused on the open road. The
emergence of smartphones has changed a lot regarding car safety. Picking up the phone and taking a quick
second call? Not a good idea, but
tolerable if short lived. Seeing a
person update their Facebook status on a smartphone in the middle of traffic? That’s insanity! Our smartphones have become an extension of
us; here are some great iPhone apps that can keep you driving safely, while
making your life easier in the process.
Car Finder Plus is
an app that records your position when you leave your car, tracking your
location in the process. The GPS stores
this location and when you’re looking for your vehicle after running your
errands, it provides a display of where to locate your car.
Another great (free) app is Trapster. Trapster allows
drivers to scan the area for known speed traps, police hangouts, speed cameras
or even stop-light cameras. Using the
GPS capabilities in your smart phone it uses reported speed traps in Trapster’s
network database to give voice alerts of approaching traps. This technology is due to a network of over 5
million Trapster users that constantly contribute trap locations.
There are countless smartphone applications available for
your phone that helps make life a tad easier.
Check out your smartphone application store for details and continue to
drive safely!
