blue arrow is easy (and will likely make it into the next version as it also helps to improve performance). But the night mode stuff is a non-starter, just as Darren explained.

Ironically the arrow is a byproduct of another klutz that we had to do for all the devices where the display of the "My location" bubble would crash the application. Now we're just doing a marketing spin on it and are selling the dirty hack as a brilliant feature.

OK, just paid my money and got my Google receipt. When I look on history of order it tells me order has been sent to PGPSW and you are responsible for charging and shipping.

Meanwhile for the last 10 minutes the phone display has been stuck on "authorising purchase" with the little grey line thingy. Am using Wifi and no problem with connection or signal. Never had that before when buying an app. Is that usual for Cameralert? Should I be patient or should I hit the cancel button (the only option button) and if so what do I do then?

Darren, that's what I thought but I hit cancel and when I go back into "my apps" in the Market it is still showing as "authorising purchase". Anyway of checking the status at you end?

We have no involvement in this transaction at all. The software is delivered by Google and comes from Google's server. They take your money, they handle the entire transaction.

All we get is a report of sales at and payment at the end of the month.

I'd cancel and try again or request help from Google.

Interesting time stamps on this forum. Darren's last post at 9.54. Current time of my post is 9:15. Very Happy

Ah, on previewing I see your server is still on BST, not GMT. Any emails from that server will well confuse mail servers!! Mail arriving in the future.......

Great app by the way. Now working fine on my Desire HD. Runs behind CoPilot with map display set to never. Nice BIG overspeed warning when approaching camera. Yes, you will get false warnings of adjacent cameras especially on M'way. (One 50mph alert on M4 w/b just before M32 in Bristol. Camera is on adjacent ring-road), but small price to pay.

oops, my faullt!

Sorry!
That particular camera is on parallel road about 20metres from m'way. Difficult to improve settins w/o missing cameras just after a bend as someone else mentioned. I'm very happy to accept a few like this.

A quick feature req/suggestion...

How about separate warning times for mobiles and fixed cameras?

I find 10 secs is about right for a Gatso, but 30 secs would be more useful for some sneaky b*gger with a laser.
