But when you're ready to fine-tune, HighwayRadar puts you in control: • Choose how far ahead you want to be warned, or let smart, speed-aware distances handle it for you • Decide which alerts matter: only what's on your street, anything ahead of you, or everything nearby • Turn specific camera types on or off • Filter out older reports and focus on fresh ones • Hear alerts through CarPlay, Bluetooth, or your phone speaker • Flash the screen for a quick visual heads-up when a new alert arrives BUILT FOR CARPLAY AND YOUR CAR • Full CarPlay support with maps, alerts, and easy reporting • A clean speed display showing the current limit alongside your own speed • Automatic zoom as you approach an alert, so you see the detail that matters • Traffic overlay, adjustable map angle and zoom, and a location icon you can personalize • Customizable light and dark themes that can follow your system or the local sunrise and sunset WORKS WITH YOUR RADAR DETECTOR (OPTIONAL) Already own a detector or laser system?
