Since you already have a navigation system, you do not need another portable navigation device. And since we can't load PhantomALERT on to your in dash system and you just need to get the alerts for the thousands of red light, speed cameras and speed traps, click here to check out some GPS + Laser/Radar Detectors. Q. I love the idea, What Do I Need to Install the PhantomALERT Database? A. The database is a list of locations, which need to be transferred to your GPS device. You'll need your GPS, a USB cable to connect to your computer, any disks which came with your GPS, an internet connection and a PC running Windows XP or Vista, or a Mac Running OS 10.x. You'll need to know how to do a few simple computer tasks like download from a link, create a new folder and move files around on your PC. If you're using a Mac please make sure you click on the Mac instructions for downloading into your TomTom or GARMIN. Magellan dos not support the Apple Mac platform. Q. How accurate is the data? A. PhantomALERT is the largest, most accurate compilation of GPS safety data available! Our data is compiled & verified through multiple audits by Phantom Alert in addition to the thousands of contributions of users who add and verify data they personally experience in everyday driving. To maintain the database’s accuracy, we strive to ensure the data is accurate through a unique ranking system using multiple submissions, user view ratings and our own proprietary validation. Q. How Does the map application work? A. The PhantomALERT Database Application displays Red Light Camera, Speed Trap and other POI locations as geo-coded longitude and latitude data using Google maps, the coordinates correspond to user entered locations word-wide. Simply select a metro area, map location or enter cross streets and city in the field above the map tabs and the map displays the coordinates as the geo-coding engine looks up the data and displays the location on the map as a camera or police Icon. |
