Beyond helping us reach our destination by optimizing the route, some navigation applications have an ace up their sleeve for those who like to step on the accelerator: the speed camera warning. If you want to have this function on the console of your car, two premises must be met: that the navigation application in question has a speed camera warning and that it is compatible with Android Auto, after all, Android Auto does not allow to be a projection of the phone. With that said, let’s review the main applications with detection of legal speed cameras that you can use with Android Auto.

Waze
But Maps is not the only Google application: a decade ago it acquired Waze, one of its main competitors in navigation due to its careful interface and updated information, however it allows those who use the application warn of milestones on the road, such as speed cameras and the presence of the police. In this sense, if radars are the priority for you, Waze is a more complete alternative.
