Das nervt: Schlaglöcher, Graffitis, gestapelte Müllbeutel am Straßenrand. Aber dagegen kann man doch sowieso nichts tun. Kann man doch – hier ist die Lösung: Mängelmelder.de - eine Gratis-App fürs iPhone. Damit wird mit wenigen Klicks ein Schandfleck im Straßenbild per Foto dokumentiert. Die Position wird automatisch per GPS ermittelt und das Anliegen wird direkt an die zuständige Behörde weitergeleitet, die dann das Nötige veranlasst. Für eine schönere Stadt! Mach mit bei Mängelmelder.de! Das Original von der "wer denkt was GmbH". So einfach geht‘s: - App kostenlos aufs iPhone laden und aufrufen - Foto machen und Anliegen beschreiben - Meldung abschicken Wir prüfen, ob es sich um ein echtes Bürgeranliegen handelt und leiten dieses an die passende Kommune weiter, damit die Bearbeitung veranlasst werden kann. Du bekommst dann per E-Mail eine Info, dass deine Meldung an die richtige Stelle weitergeben wurde. In der Folgezeit wirst du per Mail immer über den Stand der Bearbeitung deines Anliegens auf dem Laufenden gehalten. Die App funktioniert als übergreifende Plattform in Städten und Gemeinden in Deutschland, u.a. in Essen, Bremen, Mannheim, Görlitz, Ulm, Witten, Konstanz und Darmstadt. Du hast kein iPhone? Die Meldung kann auch direkt hier auf der Homepage von Maengelmelder eingegeben werden: http://www.Mängelmelder.de

Learning to drive? DriveTrack turns every lesson into practice you can repeat on your own. Record the exact routes your driving instructor takes you on, then head out and practise them privately — as often as you like — until every junction, roundabout and manoeuvre feels natural. RECORD AND REPLAY YOUR LESSONS Capture the streets your driving school chooses for you with precise GPS tracking. Review each route later, complete with the road conditions and manoeuvres you practised, so you always know what to work on next. PRACTISE THE RIGHT THINGS Choose the conditions that matter — weather, road type, traffic density — and see how you handled each one. A clear study plan keeps your overall progress in view throughout your training. CAPTURE TRICKY SITUATIONS Turn confusing junctions and traffic situations into satellite sketches. Your instructor can draw the correct manoeuvre right on the picture and explain it afterwards, so it finally clicks. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Your routes, sketches and notes travel with you on every practice drive. Note: Practice drives must always be accompanied by an authorised person — check with your driving instructor. Continuous use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life.
