I realize that the "heat map" concept has been mentioned in the past and there are frequent postings about this concept. I did not find in my search of suggestions a practical algorithm to make this useful.
I think that the postings of random cars on side of road and detritus in the road result in too frequent notifications that are distracting. I do not think that simply adding alerts for every known speed trap is useful.
A useful modification would be to alert users of locations with frequent police sightings in the past say 30 days only if there are not at least 2-3 reported wazers less than ten minutes away from the driver.
