Enhanced driver safety
No matter how carefully we drive, it's very easy for anyone to have occasional lapses in concentration that could result in a fine and points or even worse, an accident. The new Cheetah GPSmirror is a hazard locator, designed to protect you, as well as your livelihood and your licence by making you more aware of your speed, your surroundings and approaching hazards.
Advance warning of dangerous intersections and accident zones
Advance warning of accident blackspots and high risk zones can help you stay focused and can greatly enhance road safety. Your GPSmirror gives out visual, spoken and audible safety alerts to notify you of approaching cameras or hazards in your direction of travel, giving you time to refocus, concentrate and plan ahead. There are 8 different GPS advisory safety warnings and 10 different camera warnings. Voice alerts identify the hazard type, and the digital display gives you a distance countdown to the hazard's location.
Covers all types of safety cameras
Your GPSmirror's memory can store up to 120,000 locations. It contains the GPS co-ordinates of the dangerous intersections and roads with accident histories where red-light or speed cameras are used. It alerts you to all types of Fixed Speed Cameras, Red Light Cameras and Average Speed Speed Cameras (GATSO, Truvelo, SPECS, Traffiphot, Redspeed, Redflex, ACS, ATS, Nestor, etc) as well as other known accident blackspots and common mobile speed trap sites. The warnings for common mobile sites can be turned off and you can even store your own personal warning locations.
Helps you to become more aware of your speed
The GPS speedo accurately displays your current speed from behind the mirror glass. Advisory speed limits when you are approaching a camera let you easily compare your own speed to the posted speed limit at that location. There is also a useful Overspeed Reminder which reminds you whenever you drive faster than your chosen setting.
Helps eliminate blind spots and improve night vision
One of the first things you notice about this product is the size. It's slightly larger than most factory mirrors, partially for cosmetic reasons to cover your original mirror, but mostly for safety reasons. It's a wide angle mirror which greatly increases your rear vision and helps to eliminate blind spots on many cars. 93% of customers prefer our specialized NIGHTblue anti-glare coating to their original automatic dimming mirror, reporting better night vision while not being dazzled.
Works at home or abroad and it's completely legal
The on-board Trinity database currently covers the USA and UK. Canada, Spain, France, Portugal, Scandinavia, the rest of Europe and Australia are actively being logged and will be available later in 2007. There are no ongoing costs, subscription charges or download fees. Camera updates are done through the internet and your PC using a USB and a serial port.
Easy to use - easy to swap between cars.
The spring-loaded adjustable clips make it easy to fit over 99% of factory mirrors on the market. The power cord can be hardwired or simply plugged into your car's cigar lighter socket. If you want to swap your Cheetah GPSmirror between two vehicles we recommend you purchase an extra power cord to fit in the second vehicle. This makes it easy to swap over in seconds.
"Fit and Forget" technology - hassle free
These days, leaving an auto accessory on display inside your car is often asking for trouble. Other systems normally have to be hidden from sight or removed every time you leave the vehicle to avoid attracting the attention of thieves. Cheetah's elegant design leaves your dashboard and windscreen clutter free and its discreet nature makes it almost unnoticeable from outside the vehicle, so many customers feel comfortable about leaving their mirror in place when they park.
SiRF star III
The GPSmirror uses the latest SiRF star III chipset so you know it's going to be reliable, even in tricky urban canyon conditions where other systems may falter. There is a useful driving compass display with an audio heading announcement feature. "Rescue Me" coordinates can be heard at the touch of a button. There's even a handy clock display option.
