These sites will help for preparation. I mapped all potential speed traps from these on google earth , then saved the kml file to my gps's poi folder and they come up on my gps. They all are very accurate, i recently made a trip to RI and everytime i saw a cop they were right on a speedtrap in my gps. The trapster website's traps can be downloaded so you don't have to plot them. - www.trapster.com- www.beartraps.com- www.speedtrap.orgAlso trapster will send live police reports to your cell phone via text message, and if you have a PDA you can have the full program.

the Dash for everything else it does, won't show POI's live along your route. kind of a bummer. they have a Trapster app for it, so i can search for them periodically and figure out where they are, but i won't be getting them live.
i do however, report to Trapster from it, religiously. and it updates live since my Dash is internet-connected. not like any of you will be behind me .... heh. oh well.

that live trapster on your dash sounds really good, but it sucks you wont be able to have all potential traps on there. I uploaded everything onto my portable GPS and it works awsome, i even split up the traps from interstate highways and states accordingly, so i can show only select sets of traps at my own desire.

Hey Sean, It might be a good idea to make this thread a sticky\announcement so that it shows up on all threads. Or possibly just make a master list so we dont have to go digging through everyone's post. If you need some help give me a shout.
I was about to post up something like this in the 09 NER section but decided to do some digging first. This has a ton of info that is great for first timer's or people who dont do big rally's like this to often.
I just went through the list and found a ton of stuff that i would have missed.
Thanks, Nick

Whatever your favorite munchie / road snack is, BUY IT AHEAD OF TIME... (Unless its beef jerky)... Because nothing makes you more sad then when its 3am in the middle of nowhere, and you cant find any zagnut bars. But if you want Jerky, STOP IN VERMONT... Trust me...

If you have a flatulant co-driver, don't let him/her indulge in said beef jerky...... Noah

You guy probably already know, but fix-a-flat and TPMS sensors don't mix.

Post by Sean on May 19, 2010 23:23:33 GMT -5
That's a GREAT point. I'm sure there are a lot of people that don't know that.
I don't have TPMS so I'm ok lol.
