I have been to Trapster site and Googled for info if and how much does Trapster use of the phones data allowance.? All I can find is vague answers..Anyone use Trapster ? and if so how much data does it use. I have 1.5gb allowance.I am driving to Rockhampton on the weekend and will have it on for about 8 hours. I know Google Maps gobbles data and battery life..Cheers, Merry Christmas.

Sorry guys,

I assumed you would know what Trapster is..its the app to warn you of speed cameras etc..Its available for the iphone and android phones.

It depends - it's downloading map information depending on how far you drive and how often you use it.

How long is a piece of string?

Reset the stats on your phone, go for a drive, see how much data was polled during that period of time.

Sorry about that, never knew that app existed.

My Navman got a massive update done two weeks ago that shows all fixed speed cameras and speed checks for the country. Just the pesky mobile ones I don't.

As raptor said, let us know how it goes.

Trapster is the biggest waste of time. It basically tells you where a speed camera may be. I seen the app. In the 20 minute drive me and a friend did, it said there was about 30 locations where a speed camera was. We did not even see 1 camera.

Did a check on my Tom Tom and Speed Camera alert wasn't enabled. It is now, won't bother with Trapster. Thanks guys..Merry Christmas (not too merry!!)

Trapster shows you known enforcement points, which never expire and live cameras which expires after a few hours after being added. I rarely use it, but when I have used it, it has worked reasonably well.
