TO ALL DEVELOPER IN THE FORUM
I recently took a project to complete a traffic control application that helps driver to maintain safety on the road, I have the issue of detecting red light and speed camera location without a database, please can anyone in the forum suggest for me an updated site to download traffic database basically for United State, United Kingdom and Canada.
Thank you all for your response in advance

I registered with FON...
http://www.fon.com
...about six months ago, then just before Christmas they offered me their wireless kit with high gain aerial for six quid inc p&p.
The way it works is if you share your wireless network (the router lets you set the bandwidth you wish to share, so almost none if you want) and in return it lets you use everyone elses FON connections, and you can check a map to see where the closest open on is, with it even showing you the route to get there. The router provides two separate wifi sources - one for your own use - and one for public use (if someone who does not share their wifi in the FON service - they can still use the service - but need to pay - with part of the payment going to the person sharing their router. A few routers can also do this already - and there is a link on the site telling those that will work with the service. You can name your hotspot from their site and change passwords etc too.

You need to keep zooming in until you see orange circles.
It was originally set up in Spain - so the coverage there is massive - so pretty good for on holiday, although last year FON teamed up with BT in the UK, so the hotspots on my local map have more than doubled in that time. But there is coverage in most countries, including ones where they do not offer to send to (such as Russia - but the map shows availability in Moscow and SPB).
So legal war-driving with a map provided, and a good chance of free VOIP and internet when on holiday.
I'm surprised that this is popular; seeing as you're responsible for what is downloaded on your connection. It'd be just lovely if you did this and some pervert downloaded kiddie porn with your connection.
A nice surprise that would be, when the cops come beating down your door at 5am...
In the US they just passed a bill that makes sharing your connection a VERY risky thing to do. You would have to be crazy to own a wireless router in the USA atm and even more nutz to share it. If someone uses your connection to commit a crime you can be held liable. RP and Dennis are the only 2 people who fought this. While they are out on the trail it got voted in.
OK - show me one conviction where this happened and someone was convicted for what a third party downloading criminal content.
If I go to the city centre, even in the evening there are masses of open wifi signals - and in addition to that a few people have had file sharing cases against them dropped as those making the accusations were unable to show if it had come through an open signal.
Also - if you are responsible for what is downloaded upon your connection - show me one university, internet cafe, or employer who has been accused of an offence for what was downloaded on their premises.
Being a member of FON means you can hire out your connection for both payment and/or free access yourself, so you are in the same position as those mentioned in the list in the above paragraph.

the general issue is not they are convicted for other people doing it the problem
is that they can get convicted as the offender themselfs
The router splits traffic into two parts - your own and your external - ie others.
For someone else to use your router for access - they have already registered and had a router sent to them - or they have registered then paid with paypal to access your router (with a pass).
There is also the option of changing the firmware on your original router and then registering - which would show your IP as you went through to process of registering.
OK - I gave a bad example by saying it was wardriving with a map provided - but its keeping records - and on my home page I can see the IDs of those who accessed my site (who are both family members I set it up for prior to their going on holiday).
So you will still have to do anything dodgy from a normal open router or net cafe - as there is still a password you need to buy - or be sharing yourself to get access - so users are traceable - and your homepage shows you the ID of who accessed the service.
why would you even share your bandwidth, i would not even share it if i was being paid, can be used by pirates and then you get the law knocking on your door blaming you.
And i think they are going to pass a law that bans pirating(any illegal thing) in the university
"Its mine - all mine - mine you hear - just mine - and no one elses"
Seems like some have reason to be paranoid about this, depending in wich country you live...
As long as it is not forbidden to have an open accespoint in the Netherlands, i like the idea of FON.
Hello I'm Matteo from Italy and I'm new in this forum.
I've heard that european Satellite system EGNOS is developing some base application to use the new system on apps.
Is there anyone that know who I might contact or if there is a site where to get all the info?
Thanks
Matteo
i find this news on egnos, anyone has informations about it?
The European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC) awards the most innovative proposals for new applications in the sector. The European GNSS Agency (GSA) has offered a Special Topic Prize for the most promising application that uses EGNOS, the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service. Entrants should submit their idea before 30 June 2011 on the ESNC website, more info on the EGNOS portal
Thanks
Matteo

Hello
I am writing this one for a large number of students so this is not a personal request.
Recently (Turkish) government issued us tablets for our education but they are not really useful for their purpose. As it is an only education device it is pretty restricted so no apps installed, no webpages accesible instead of a few government pages and we can not even turn off wifi. We want to have a privilege escalation to make it useful for at least everyday tasks. Settings are restricted, no developer options,bluetooth,apps management section etc. accesible. And its device manager software blocks USB connections and is responsible for the other restrictions. Any tips for possible bugs to enter unrestricted settings app? Because in older versions of the tablet they were two seperate settings menus - the one that is unrestricted(original) and the one govt. modified to be restricted. In older versions this was possible by small bugs like settings widget or some other apps(e.g entering settings from the calendar app). Those seem to be fixed and we need advices. If required, we will write our hardware as we can learn.
Thanks in advance.

Hi XDA. I am a CS undergrad and for my final year project, I am looking forward to make an android app that records the cellular network's signal strengths at different locations where its user's daily interaction is, for example work, club, home for one person and school, home, [some other place] for another. The app will be designed to use an algorithm that will also combine similar locations by multiple users into a location group or a region. After collection of a significant amount of data, (say 1,000,000 entries) for a particular network, The app, as well as a web interface, will publish the results, comparing the service quality of different cellular networks, helping the users to choose the best for them according to their roaming needs, increasing the ease in their mobility.
My question is that is it a good Idea? Given that from where I belong (Pakistan), cellular network signals are still a big issue. I would also like to know if some developer in the past has worked on something like this or any thing related to it.
I'll be looking forward to the responses.
P.S: Sorry for this vague description, feel free to ask me any question about this Idea.
