Tech News for US Drivers: Cheetah’s Tiny New Speed & Red Light Cam-Buster Comes with a Tiny Price Tag

Phoenix, AZ, November 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Drivers now have a new tool to help them drive safely and avoid photo-enforcement tickets from the ever increasing number of automated speed and red light cameras across the USA, and they don’t need to have a GPS or expensive smartphone, or be a technical whiz-kid to use it. It’s simple, effective and has state-of-the-art voice alerts to remind drivers when to take extra care.

Measuring about half the size of a radar detector, the tiny Cheetah C50 cam-buster retails for only $99.99 and is the first GPS speed and red light camera locator in the world to have been specifically designed for North American roads. It identifies all the different types of camera (speed cameras, red light cameras, speed-on-green cameras, point-to-point speed cameras and possible speed trap sites), but it’s a massive leap forward in the world of camera detection because it is the only unit on the market which gives drivers more detailed, useful information on the exact location of the cameras. If you’re driving along a freeway, for example, the C50 is capable of telling you whether the camera is on the freeway itself, on the exit ramp or a frontage road or if it’s off to the side of the freeway on a nearby city or local street. For mobile speed trap alerts, the C50 is even able tell you if the trap is likely
to be located in the construction zone or school zone ahead, in a tunnel, after the end of a tunnel, on an overpass or near a bridge ahead. Spoken voice alerts, rather than just beeps, help drivers to instantly assess the importance of any alert.

Al Smith, VP of Sales and Marketing for Cheetah, said “Until now, all camera locators in the USA have been European or Asian imports that only make beeps or have very limited voice alerts. Roads in the US, however, are different to Europe or Asia, so US drivers require different information. With detailed voice alerts for 65 different US camera scenarios, directional intelligence and a proper speedo/compass display, the new C50 completely redefines what a US camera detector should be.”

The C50 benefits from the highly accurate and verified Trinity Database, which is only available on the top brands in the sector, so it doesn’t suffer from lots of the false positive alarms that plague many of it’s competitors. The C50 is the first product to offer the Trinity 2.0 Enhanced Database with 65 US alerts and, combined with advanced directional vectors, this enables the C50 to avoid annoying false alerts for cameras on the other side of a freeway and give much better alerts in the city. For example, at camera intersections where only one or two directions are actually enforced, you can turn off the safety reminders for “non-enforced approaches” so the C50 only alerts for genuine ticket directions. This makes the C50 much better to use in cities with a number of cameras, because it’s not going off all the time like other products.

The Cheetah C50 is going to be a popular gift this Christmas because it is so simple to use and intelligent, anyone can use it. It offers affordable, quality camera detection and it’s a great alternative for safety conscious drivers who want something better than the poor quality warnings and hundreds of false positive alerts from GPS sat nav devices, or who prefer to avoid the expensive data contracts for smart-phone applications. With the cost of a typical photo-radar ticket ranging from $180, up to as much as $500, if the C50 helps avoid a single ticket, it’s paid for itself.

The Cheetah C50 is available now, direct from Cheetah, at www.GPSdetector.com for $99.99.
