Avoid Getting a Speeding Ticket with a Speed Camera Locating GPS Unit

WALLA WALLA, WA, November 13, 2010 (Press-News.org) "The most obvious reason people own a GPS ( http://www.gpscounts.com ) unit is for directions. Where do you turn, how long will it take to arrive, and are there shorter routes, are a few of the questions a GPS unit can answer," says Mr. Dan Counts of GPScounts.com ( http://www.gpscounts.com )

While drivers today have equipped themselves with the latest and the newest technologies in the GPS car units or portable GPS devices, there are many others who are still fairly new to this 'Global Positioning System' concept. Finding directions and knowing the street names in places you have never been before has been made conveniently possible by these amazing GPS units. Better still, you just have to follow the voice messages and warnings while you have your eyes on the road with these state-of-the-art GPS units.

"Traveling to a new and unfamiliar location can be intimidating and scary, especially if you have an emergency. What is your current location? Where is the nearest Police or Fire Station, Ambulance, Hospital, or Doctor? These questions can be a matter of life or death. The correct GPS unit can answer these questions and give you the peace of mind you need," says Mr. Counts.

Now, you also have some advanced GPS devices, as part of the traffic program, which can detect the presence of speed cameras on the routes you travel. This helps the driver to be alerted to the presence of these cameras, thus saving the vehicle owner from those expensive speeding tickets when they pass by a speed or intersection camera hurriedly, not knowing that they are being watched.

Police say they don't mind it at all. "So if this is alerting the drivers that there is a camera up ahead and it actually gets the driver to slow down, be aware of the speed limit in that area, and also be aware enough not to run the red light in that intersection, that's a great idea. All you are doing is handling your safety with care, as well as that of the others in the vicinity," says a local police officer.

A GPS unit can help drivers be more attentive, safe, and aware, plus provide the knowledge of where they are, where they are going, and what to see along the way. Travel safe and happy.
