A few weeks ago I decided to try Coyote. One of the most famous speed camera notification apps. I was quite happy with its main purpose, but given that it’s compatible with Android Auto during the 30-day free trial period, I used it extensively on the Google infotainment system in the Seat Leon.
So after installing it on my phone (available on the Google Play Store), creating an account and activating the free trial period, I got in my car and, as usual, limited myself to hot-connecting both systems while installing an app in Android Auto. to synchronize them and thus Coyote appears on my Android Auto. This has been my experience, but I can tell you one thing: While radars are infallible, there are aspects that need improvement.
Way to solve the problem interface is quite common among browsers, use a magnifying glass to enter the target by voice or mobile keyboard (though not on the move). From here it shows the available routes, their status and which one is recommended.
One thing that surprises me is radars not showing up in previews (even if there are only a few, for example stationary ones), because for example on some short trips it may be interesting to know in order to choose the one that allows you to avoid them. However, you will be able to see these by choosing a route and being on the road.
Although the maps can be viewed in two or three dimensions (configurable in settings), I didn’t see much of a difference between the two. The route is marked in blue, the marker is green and if there are delays there are traffic status indicators such as red or orange. Such an absence I missed a lot, it has zoom Being able to zoom in and out and thus see the road in perspective.
aesthetically It gives the impression of Google Maps in terms of the use of simple and soft colors., light years away from the colorful and casual Waze. I would have preferred a more striking design for someone who is pensive and tends to get lost as a presenter, but it fulfills its guiding mission. In any case, this visual commitment to minimalism makes it quickly become familiar, and while they’re not the biggest and clearest I’ve seen when it comes to landmarks on the road, they’re more than enough to keep you informed.
As can be seen in these lines, two large speech bubbles are shown: one for directions and the other for general trip information. One thing I liked was in the bottom right corner The speed limit of the road and the speed we will go are always visibleHowever, if we are not very careful, when we exceed the limit, the surrounding green ring turns red.
Not only is the Report button in the top right corner handy, but it’s also pretty complete in terms of road milestones, with three option screens including mobile radars, traffic jams, accidents, moving radar or kamikaze car. With just a few taps we can update the map with notifications.
referred to adjustment, I can say that activating voice alerts is quite useful and there is no shortage of classic options such as avoiding toll plazas or dirt roads. Overall the default configuration is adequate, but I quickly removed navigation due to too much information.
Because where Coyote shines is exactly like a radar warning. Application information details how ‘It has the largest radar database on the market, including: fixed, mobile, sectional, band, traffic light and mobile phone radars‘ is something I can attest to the comprehensiveness of its offering based on my experience of use.
It also has a community of five million users across Europe, so there is some room for unpredictable events, although not as fast as the Waze community (a much more widespread free app).
I said in the interface that the icons aren’t the best, but they do have resources, so you know there’s a radar no matter what: a speech bubble has been added at the top to let you know the type of radar and the radar’s distance. There is a large icon and audible alarm in the right-hand area. Come on what Efforts would have to be made to avoid knowing about the radar.
The adaptation of the application to the Google infotainment system for vehicles is good in that viewing or giving notifications is much more convenient than on a mobile phone, but there is significant room for improvement in terms of aesthetics and integrated functions.
I guess after trying The interface is neat, but not its strong point by any meansTherefore, if we are interested in the radar function, an interesting option would be to keep it running in the background and use another browser compatible with Android Auto, such as Google Maps or Waze, for guidance.
Because on the radar level this is an axe: It is comprehensive and has been noted separately so that we do not miss it. The decision to opt out or not will be a personal one, depending on how much we travel, where we move and how hard we like to press the accelerator pedal, but it’s worth considering that the version compatible with Android Auto is the most expensive: the premium version, at the time of writing, 10.99 euros per month or 78.99 euros per year.
