Button Description
Warn When Speeding
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments.
IGO 8 is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may
not be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully
correct for all roads in the map. This setting lets you decide whether you wish
to receive the warnings. You can set the relative speeding level at which the
application warns you (100% represents the current speed limit):
• In Built-up Areas: in cities and towns
• Elsewhere: at all other locations
There are two types of warnings. You can turn them on or off independently:
• Audible Warning: A voice message is played using the selected voice
guidance profile.
• Visible Warning: A symbol with the speed limit appears in the corner of
the map (for example:
).
Speed Camera
Warning
This feature allows you to receive a warning when approaching a Road
Safety Camera. You must ensure on your own liability that using this feature
is legal in the country where you intend to use it. You have the following
options:
• Audible Warning: beeps can be played while you are approaching the
camera, or just alert sounds if you exceed the speed limit while
approaching one of these cameras.
• Visible Warning: the type of the camera and the monitored speed limit
appear on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these
cameras.
This button is not displayed when GPS position is not available or if you are in
certain countries where Road Safety Camera warning is prohibited. Even if
the button is available, you are responsible for checking whether it is legal to
use this feature at your location.
Warn if Too Fast for a
Pedestrian
Enable this warning to be alerted if pedestrian mode is activated and you
drive fast. You are asked if you want to change to car navigation mode. This
way you can be sure you will not be routed via one-way roads in the wrong
direction as a pedestrian could, for example.
Safety Mode
Safety Mode disables the touch screen above 10 km/h (6 mph) to keep your
attention on the road. While driving, you will not be able to set a new
destination or to change settings. The only screen control that remains
enabled is the gesture that puts you back on the Map screen.
