In reality police scanners are not really to find out where speed traps are. In reality they are to listen to the police communications in real time. You hear police stopping people in real time and things like burglar alarms going off. So I am not familiar with Waze but that may be a better system for speed traps. The police scanners are to listen into police communications in real time--kind of cool but I would not want to listen on a daily basis.

TuneIn radio uses a lot of data depending on what channel you listen to...I used to use that app but it cut out sometimes because the data demands were so high.

I have not had much of a chance to experiment with it yet. When they finally got it working for me, I was listening to a radio station (music) from Heraklion, Crete. It was pretty good nd it did not cut out in the 15 minutes that I spent on it. I guess I will find out in the next few weeks. In any case, I was getting upset at MBrace because, TuneIn radio was promised for 3 months free and the idiots did not know what was going on.
