Lince GPS é um programa para sinalizar fiscalização eletrônica (pardais) e pontos perigosos. Além disso, também é um computador de bordo. Com interface fácil e intuitiva, é possível marcar pontos desejados e a velocidade máxima permitida da via. Ao se aproximar de um ponto marcado, um aviso visual o alertará da aproximação. Caso você esteja acima da velocidade, um aviso sonoro também será emitido. Além de ser possível marcar os próprios pontos, podem-se contratar os pontos de controle de velocidade da Robotron. Pagando-se uma pequena anuidade, têm-se atualizações mensais de pontos de diversas cidades brasileiras, feitas por uma equipe de profissionais. A atualização dos pontos da Robotron é feita pelo celular com apenas alguns toques. Instale grátis em seu iPhone e use o serviço por 7 dias. RECURSOS: - Alerta os pontos registrados apenas na pista trafegada: evita alarme falso. - Ajuste de tempo de aviso: ao invés de se escolher a distância, escolhe-se o tempo para que o alerta apareça. Você sempre será avisado com a antecedência certa, independentemente da velocidade do veículo; - Ajuste de volume do beep: É fácil conciliar o volume do aviso sonoro e o volume da sua música; - Visualização de mapa do local onde se está trafegando.

Attention! 1. On a clear day, the device screen brightness is typically insufficient to give a decent reflection for HUD mode. In that situation, you can use the app in standard mode with the phone fixed with some mount, OR stay HUD using our HUDWAY Glass accessory (more at hudwayglass.com or see bellow). At night, in dusk, or in dull weather the reflection is normally well-discernible. 2. Continuous use of geolocation services (GPS and GLONASS) may drain your device battery fast. 3. When driving, make sure that your smartphone or tablet is well fixed in some mount or on some sticky pad, and doesn't prevent you from clearly seeing the road. HUDWAY Glass car accessory makes smartphone work as a head-up display in any car even in daytime. Removes doubling, offers sharp enlarged reflection image.
