Features
Built for the way New Zealanders actually drive β simple, fast, and looking out for the community.
See all active checkpoints, cameras and hazards on a clean map, auto-centred to your location.
Police Checkpoint, Speed Camera/Radar, RBT and Road Hazard β reported and verified by the community.
Background monitoring notifies you when you're within 5km of a checkpoint. No need to keep the app open.
Reports auto-degrade at 30 minutes and expire after 60, so you only ever see current info.
Report in seconds with a location picker, optional notes, and a 5km radius from where you are.
A clean, NZ-themed UI that's easy on the eyes β day or night.
