TYPES oF SPEED TRAPS

Police in Europe use quite a few ways to check motorists for speed, and an even greater variety of equipment to carry out these
checks. Each type of speed trap requires a special approach of the Card. For the different types of speed traps for which it offers
protection, the DSI has particular audio-visual alerts, activated on approach of the specific speed trap. The following pages provide
a summary of the various types of speed traps and the corresponding DSI screens.
Note: The rules regarding protection against speed traps vary from country to country. Some countries have taken away your freedom to use
some or any of the speed trap protection functionalities that Stinger offers. Please acquaint yourself with the rules and regulations of the region
in which you would like to use your Stinger DSI. To assist you with this, please use the Stinger Desktop application and make sure you answer
correctly the questions concerning the regional configurations.

Induction loop camera's, such as Truvelo, use loops embedded in the road, instead of radar, to measure speed. These camera's
therefore cannot be found by Radar Alerting or a radar detector. However, by their nature induction loops are in fixed locations and
Stinger has mapped virtually all of them and incorporated them in the Stinger SpotList database. Stinger SpotList Alerting warns you
in time using an audio signal and display message whenever you are approaching an induction loop camera. The most recent version
of the Stinger SpotList can be downloaded from stinger.com and be installed via the Stinger Desktop application on your Mac or PC.
On approaching a speed camera with induction loops SpotList Alerting will generate the following screen:
Your current speed
Your GPS speed, more accurate
than your car's speedometer.
