Google Maps

[Confuscious]

This morning, as I was travelling, I used my GPS (Google Maps) like I always did before.
But when I approached a Speed sign, Google Maps screen showed the location of a Speed Detection device and send a Voice warning about a speed camera.
During my trip, this happened a few times and when I paid attention, the speed cameras where indeed at the location.
Anybody else noticed this?

Haven’t noticed since the wife does the navigating while we’re out exploring and we pretty much know where all the speed cams are in the north. Though it seems like a pretty handy addition to g-maps.

Its a feature used in the USA. I heard it a number of times while back in June.  "Speed trap ahead"

Yeah, but I assume as it was not published Google can take it away without notice.

The locations are reported by other users, you can do it too if you so wish.  It's been a feature since earlier this year.

I know several applications who relies on the reporting from users, but not google maps.

At least, I never saw this until today.
