SMART RADAR is your reliable driving assistant. It provides timely warnings about fixed speed cameras, mobile speed traps and roadside police checks across supported countries in Eastern Europe, Europe, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean. The app is completely free, with no subscriptions or intrusive ads. Offline maps with real road context Download the map for the country or region you need and see more than a dot on a radar screen: roads, turns, intersections, buildings and wooded areas provide useful context. When internet access is available, camera updates and community reports appear on the map. Offline maps remain available without a connection, making them ideal for long trips and areas with unreliable coverage. Community speed-trap reports Report a mobile speed trap or roadside police checkpoint with one tap while online. Nearby drivers are notified quickly, helping the community avoid unexpected tickets. SMART DETECTOR device connectivity Connect compatible SMART DETECTOR hardware to complement GPS camera alerts with hardware-based road-radar detection. Useful information in the background Use Apple Maps, Waze, Yandex Maps, 2GIS or Navitel, or simply listen to music. SMART RADAR keeps working in the background and continues to show your speed, GPS status and approaching cameras. A large, regularly updated database SMART RADAR includes more than one hundred thousand road-safety objects. Data is updated regularly so important cameras and enforcement zones are less likely to be missed. Smart mode and country profiles SMART RADAR automatically adapts its settings to driving conditions. In cities, the warning range is reduced to avoid unnecessary distractions; on highways, it is increased. Country profiles account for local speed limits and can switch automatically based on your location. Supported countries Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan; Spain, Portugal, Italy, San Marino, Poland, Czechia, Türkiye, Latvia and Lithuania; the United States and Canada; Mexico, The Bahamas, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname and Uruguay. Interface and voice-alert languages Russian, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Czech, Turkish, Uzbek and Kazakh. Designed for iPhone The clear interface uses large, easy-to-read elements that deliver essential information without pulling your attention away from the road. Fair terms Every feature is available immediately after installation. No monthly payments and no distracting ads — only useful information when you drive. SMART RADAR is more than a speed-camera alert app. It brings greater confidence behind the wheel and helps protect your budget. Offline maps show where it is wise to slow down, even without internet access.
