Blitzer.de

Blitzer.de is the kind of navigation app people use for one job: nearby speed-camera and traffic-hazard alerts while driving in German-speaking road networks. By our assessment, its appeal is the simple, driver-facing warning system, with a live map style that keeps the next problem in view instead of making the user dig for it. The downside is obvious too, because this kind of app only matters if alerts are current and if local rules and habits match the route. In practice it is a constant companion in the car rather than a full route planner. Blitzer.de sits closer to a warning layer over navigation than to a map app that tries to do everything.
