FoxyTest v1.3
FoxyTest is an application that will check your mobile phone compatibility with FoxyTag. FoxyTag uses any Bluetooth enabled GPS to track your position and to inform you about radars on the road. This test MIDlet will check the Java API for Bluetooth (JSR82) and Internet (GPRS) connection.
FoxyTag v0.4.2

The idea consists in posting virtual tags close to radars in order to warn other drivers. These users will then get an alarm when they are closer than 15 seconds to a critical point, and a red point locating the radar appears on their screen. You can signal a radar by pressing the key "1" of your mobile phone and signal that a radar disappeared (you get an alarm but you do not see any speed camera) by pressing "0". You are also invited to signal radars that are already tagged; by confirming their presence, you create trust link with other users and get more reliable information. The system excludes automatically users that do not vote "like the others". Roughly speaking, the more you participate, the more the information you get is reliable. FoxyTag is a "collaborative" system. Tags posted by FoxyTag are directional. So, tags posted for users driving in the opposite direction won't be signalized to you. Fix or mobile speed cameras are treated the same way.
FoxyTag does not motivate speeding or any other risky behavior. On the other hand, FoxyTag allows the driver to concentrate on the road instead of having is eyes fixed on the speedometer, for fear of being flashed. We observe that drivers tend to brake suddenly when they see a radar (even if they are not too fast), which can provoke traffic jams or even accidents. FoxyTag signals in advance the presence of speed cameras, so that the driver has sufficiently time to check its speed and adapt it if necessarily.
FoxyTag is developped by Michel Deriaz in the framework of his researches at University of Geneva.
FoxyTag, a free, legal and collaborative system to signal radars on mobile phones.
Compatible Mobiles:
Every Java mobile phone with MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1 as well as the Bluetooth library should be compatible. You can test the compatibility of your mobile with the FoxyTest program.
Mobiles tested by our users: Nokia3250, Nokia5300, Nokia5500d, Nokia6131, Nokia6230, Nokia6230i, Nokia6233, Nokia6280, Nokia6630, Nokia6680, NokiaE50-1, NokiaE60-1, NokiaE61-1, NokiaE70-1, NokiaN70-1, NokiaN73-1, NokiaN80-1, NokiaN91-1, SonyEricssonK608i, SonyEricssonK610i, SonyEricssonK750i, SonyEricssonK800i, SonyEricssonM600i, SonyEricssonP990i, SonyEricssonW800i, SonyEricssonW810i, SonyEricssonW850i, SonyEricssonZ520i.
Compatible GPS:
Every Bluetooth GPS should be compatible (including GPS modules of some navigation systems). If you have not yet a GPS, we recommend you a Sirf III GPS, enough sensitive to work even in urban canyons or behind an athermanous windscreen. The best Sirf III GPS are the GlobalSat BT338
