<p>A system (5) that provides information to authorized users regarding the location of speed traps via a wireless communication network (35) connected to a computer wide area network (45). The system (5) includes the use of a detector for speed detecting equipment such as radar detector (17), which detects the presence of speed detecting equipment and transmits the detection information into an electronic device (20) in the motor vehicle (10). The electronic device (20) communicates with and is coupled to a physical location device, such as a GPS receiver (28), which provides specific location and direction of the motor vehicle (10) when detection occurs. The electronic device (20) is also coupled to a wireless modem (24) that connects to the wireless communication network (35) and to the wide area network (45). Connected to the wide area network (45) is a central server (50) that receives uploaded information from a plurality of other motor vehicle (10) operators to create a large information database (60).</p> |
