Trapster Integrates Its iPhone App with Facebook and Twitter

Trapster has just released version 2.4 of their iPhone app. The updated application includes Facebook Connect for the iPhone, Twitter integration, and multi-language support,reports gpsdaily.

Trapster iPhone users can now view the Trapmap and listen to trap notifications in the language of their preference, and automatically post the speed traps and road trips they create to their Facebook wall or Twitter feed.


By using OAuth for Twitter, and Facebook Connect, Trapster safely integrates with social sites for real-time sharing without requiring users to hand over their login credentials. Users can now automatically feed their new traps or trips to Twitter and Facebook.

Tweets include geocode data and a link to view the trap or trip on a map, while wall posts include trap or trip information, map view, a link to the actual trap or trip, and support comments and likes.

Users can follow @mytraps and send a direct message with a zip code to get the most recent trap created in that area, along with a link to view all speed traps on map. On the flip side, users can also report a new live police trap by DMing @mytraps with the speed trap location.
