from trapster.com
(b) Name the file to trapster.csv and copy to the speed zone folder
(c) RUN Setup.exe from speedzone plug in folder and import using the TRAPSTER IMPORT buttons on the menu.
(d) Wait this may take a while for large trapster files and if you have a previous import done.

Trapster - Auto Updater
DOWNLOAD AND IMPORT TRAPSTER ZONES AUTOMATICALLY

This is NOT a final release of my Formerly known as Speed Zone pluggin.
I renamed it because it is much more capable than simply detecting speed now.
Now it will make announcements, execute any command and remind you of speed limits based on position. It will also notify you of the default set speed limit selected by the user. There are an unlimited number of speed zones that can be set to announce reminders and trigger commands executed through RR or from command line.

It will trigger the speed zone when you are with DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLED ZONE PERIMETER and headed in the same direction you were heading when you set the zone.

For more information read the documentation that comes with the download and use the example skin to modify to your liking.

The source will not longer be released unless you have a Very good reason to have it.
