Times and destinations can be posted to Twitter, or else sent directly to people via email or SMS.

The app has further been upgraded with new maps. For American users, speed camera data should now come pre-installed, and updated with every subsequent release. The app is a universal title for both iPhones and iPads; pricing depends on the the exact map combination a person buys, although as an example the US/Canada app is $60.
