Agree to disagree. It's not an Android default setting. http://www.androidcentral.com/understanding-googles-android-location-tracking I am not saying Addinsight has more data, but it provides it in a way that may be potentially more user-friendly to many road users. If they navigate to a defined des...

Why would location services need to be on in sleep mode and why is that weird? Every device and user will be different. Some people have location services completely turned off.

So, how is this better than Waze? It's complementary to navigation apps such as Waze and Google Maps, not competition. You can run both at the same time. I have never used a navigation app such as Google Maps unless I was going somewhere unfamiliar. I do not believe these navigation apps will tell ...

Bluetooth is really only good for about 10 meters of range? Bluetooth iBeacons have a longer range than the classic bluetooth devices you are referring to. There are also different classes of Bluetooth devices that have different power outputs / ranges. When connected to an antenna an iBeacon's ran...

Has anyone tried out the new DPTI app - Addinsight? You get spoken alerts about congestion ahead while you are driving.

I know it's not funded, but seriously...$400M for the Outer Harbour Line. Who would even announce that as a feasable option? It's no wonder the article showed comparisons of what else you could do with the same money. That is exactly what I am thinking, money of that magnitude is better spent elsewh...

Seems like an absolute waste of money to be. Why not a rail viaduct? They are building a 1km bridge over the Onkaparinga River for the Seaford extension for about 1/4 the price. Achieves the exact same outcome. I would like to see the planning report that justifies the added expense of a tunnel. Und...

I just had the privelage of watching a MAC creeper advert on TV, what an absolute waste of time. The guy hits a pedestrian crossing the road illegally about 10 metres before a set of traffic lights which are clearly still green for traffic. How would driving 60 vs 65 or even 69 make a difference to ...

Stobie poles in extremely dangerous situations, that have been damaged when vehicles collide with them, have been replaced with new Stobie poles in exactly the same position. Surely you don't think that's justified? It doesn't look good, agreed. However, these are unplanned events and people need t...

(like removing, or at least moving, the dangerous Stobie poles). The state already has a very slow program to replace them (PLEC), but the costs are prohibitive because the footpaths are usually full of services and the undergrounding of electricity is also very expensive. In many cases it doesn't ...

If that was the general summary of his ideas, I think for $250,000 that is pretty expensive advice. Not having a go at you here Aidan, just my comments about his "solutions". Devices in vehicles that send out a distress signal in the event of a crash A device that doesn't prevent a crash f...

And there's plenty of long distance traffic in Europe, so I doubt it's a major point of difference. After recently visiting Europe and driving for a few weeks between countries I can't see any similarity between most of the intercity roads. They have full-scale freeways linking virtually every dest...

I think governments shy away from anything slightly controversial, like vehicle inspections. I am sure another stat would confirm that the average age of the Adelaide car fleet is well above that of the European nations we aspire to be like. The introduction of the seatbelt showed a significant impr...

Australian governments and the Motor Accident Commission (MAC) use a completely inappropriate statistical measure to compare us against other countries in the world to justify their continual focus of speed reduction. Fatality rates are currently quoted using the fatalities per 100,000 people measur...
