Or does it let you know instantly if the lines at the Pilot fuel pumps are shorter at the Flying J? Sometimes things in life need the "old fashioned" human touch. :W
Actually, yes, it can...I don't have the app, but yes, there IS a speed-trap warning available for Smartphones! It gives me real-time traffic & weather reports.
