2.4.10.1 Camera types
There are different types of Road Safety Cameras.
Icon Type Description
Fixed Some speed cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction,
measuring one or both directions of the traffic. They measure your current
speed. For these speed cameras you can specify the controlled traffic direction
and the speed limit. IGO 8 warns you when you approach these speed
cameras in the measured direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near
the speed camera, IGO 8 plays a special warning sound.
Mobile Some speed cameras are operated from vehicles. They do not always work
and they are not set to check a preset speed limit. The warning is similar to
fixed speed cameras, but as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity is
announced.
Built-in
Some speed cameras are built into traffic lights. They work like fixed speed
cameras, but they are difficult to spot. The warning for proximity and speeding
is the same as for the fixed speed cameras.
Section
control
These speed cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current speed
but your average speed between the two speed cameras. Both identify your
car and record the exact time you pass them. They use the difference between
the two points in time to calculate your average speed.
IGO 8 warns you when you approach one of these speed cameras, but as you
pass by, the warning stays on, and your average speed is measured until you
reach another speed camera of this type. If your average speed exceeds the
speed limit between the two speed cameras, you receive the same special
warning sound as with the other speed camera types.
In the rare case IGO 8 cannot register the moment you pass the second speed
camera (for example, it is placed at the exit of a tunnel where GPS position is
not yet available) the warning continues. Just tap the speed camera symbol
displayed on the screen to stop the warning.
Tap again to display the second route event with the possibility to open the
Itinerary.
Red light
These cameras check if you obey traffic lights. The warning is similar to mobile
speed cameras: as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity is
announced.
2.4.10.2 Camera directions
A speed camera can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or even several
directions in an intersection, when they are mounted on a rotating base. The same directions apply to
red light cameras. IGO 8 warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured direction.
The measured direction of the camera appears with the following symbols:
Icon Description
The camera checks speed in the direction into which you are driving.
