Speed Adviser

Editor's Review

Speed Adviser is your ultimate driving companion for staying safe and within the speed limits on NSW roads! 🚗 This app uses your phone's GPS to monitor your location and speed, providing timely visual and audible alerts if you happen to exceed the speed limit. Designed specifically for New South Wales, it’s an invaluable tool for every driver. 👍

Key Features:

Real-Time Speed Limit Information: Never be unsure of the speed limit again! Speed Adviser displays the speed limit for the road you're currently on, ensuring you're always informed. ℹ️

Comprehensive Coverage: It knows the speed limits on all roads in NSW, including every school zone and their operating hours. The app is updated with the latest speed zone data. 🏫

Customizable Notifications: Choose how Speed Adviser alerts you to speed limit changes. Opt for a male or female voice, a simple sound effect, or rely solely on the visual alert—a speed limit symbol with a flashing yellow background. 📢

Speeding Alerts: If you're going too fast, the app provides both audible and visual alerts to remind you to stay within the sign-posted speed limit. Continuous speeding triggers repeated alerts. ⚠️

School Zone Awareness: Always be aware when you're in an active school zone. Speed Adviser knows the location and operating hours of all school zones in NSW, including gazetted school days and non-standard times, displaying the 40 km/h speed limit when active. 🎒

Night Mode: The app automatically switches between day and night modes using an internal database of sunrise and sunset times. Night mode reduces eye strain with less light emission, and saves your preferred brightness setting. 🌙

Background Operation: Audible alerts continue to play even when the app is running in the background, allowing you to use other apps while staying informed. 📱

Important Warnings:

Learner and Provisional drivers are not permitted to use this app. 🚫

Always comply with NSW Road Rules and use a commercial phone mount to ensure your phone does not obstruct your view of the roadway. 🛑

Using the GPS hardware can drain your phone's battery, so it’s recommended to use your car's power socket while operating the app. Remember to shut down the app when you're done driving. 🔋

Privacy Matters:

Speed Adviser does not collect or report speeding events to Transport for NSW or any other agency, ensuring your privacy. 🔒
