http://www.RadarDetector.org - On Radar Roy's radar detector review website he reviews the Phantom Alert photo radar GPS POI database. This video from Channel 4 news in Albuquerque NM discusses how the product works and if it works as advertised.
@TheConstitutionMan Trapster is not aware of direction or areas with overpasses/underpasses. If you are on the freeway and approach an overpass, someone may have added a marker to alert people to a speed trap on the road above the freeway. Trapster has no way of knowing that you are not on the road above and will alert you anyways.
Keep in mind that the Trapster data base is only as good as the reports that people upload to it. Trapster and GPS red light cam devices are two different beasts.
i agree

I use it also and works great. It'll be interesting to see where Trapster ends up now that Navteq has pucrchased the company.
