To recap here is the blurb from my website;

Been caught speeding lately? Sick of getting points deducted? Tired of donating your money to the government money making scams that are termed "safety cameras"?

Tchart Development does not endorse driving at excessive speed but like many we have been nabbed going slightly over the speed limit. GPS Speed Sentry was developed to provide a subtle warning mechanism that you are exceeding the speed limit. This is particularly helpful on those long road trips when you should be watching the road and not your speedometer.

GPS Speed Sentry is a GPS enabled speed monitor/car computer. It monitors your current speed and warns you when you are near or go over one of 6 user defined speed limits. It also allows you to view other GPS derived information on a series of display types. Other information includes current/top/average speed, a trip meter, an odometer, elevation, position, bearing and much more.

Features
Below is a list of features available in GPS Speed Sentry;
- Six (6) user specified speed limits
- Audible warnings for over the speed limit and nearing speed limit (these can be muted)
- All sounds can be customised by the user
- Units can be in imperial or metric, various combinations can be used (eg speed mph & elevation in metres)
- Position can be shown in various formats including ordnance survey grid and easting/northing’s (for the united kingdom) as well as maidenhead grid locators
- Various easy to read information displays (see below)
- Large buttons which allow easy changing of display/speed limit (using your finger or stylus)
- Day/night colour schemes
- Support for portrait and landscape orientations
- Support for square screen devices (eg hp 6515)

Displays
The information displayed by GPS Speed Sentry includes;
- Current speed (in knots, mph or km/hr)
- Average speed
- Top speed
- Trip meter
- Odometer
- 3D compass view also shows bearing and direction
- Speed graph also shows current speed limit
- Elevation graph
- Current latitude and longitude coordinates (in various formats)
- Number of satellites
- GPS fix type (fix/no fix/2d/3d)
- Data validity,
- UTC date/time
- Local date/time

Tried GPS Speed Sentry on my Mitac Mio and it cannot find the GPS receiver - although all my other programs find it OK on COM2.

Any thoughts?

Trevor.Dowle,

When you are on the homepage, go to the Products button on the left hand side of the page, click on GPS Speed Sentry and you should see 7 links at the top of the page: Main; News; Screenshots; Manual; Purchase; Downloads; Support. Click on 'Purchase'.

You need to purchase it via a software portal (links to these are included on this page) and if you pay by PayPal, you can buy it at a discounted rate.

The price is in US dollars.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Bo Peep.
