4.1.5 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert points
There is a special proximity warning for road safety cameras (like speed or red light cameras)
and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings). These alert points are
preloaded in the software. You can download more from www.naviextras.com or you can
upload points in a specific text file if needed.
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed cameras
or dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. You can set up the different alert
types individually in Sound and Warning settings (page 69).
The followi
ng alert types are available:
• Audio warning: beeps or the name of the alert type can be played while you are
approaching the camera, or extra alert sounds if you exceed the speed limit while
approaching one of these cameras.
• Visual warning: the type of the alert point, its distance and the related speed limit
appear on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these cameras. The
distance from the camera is also displayed.
For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For these
points, the audio alert can be different if you are below or above the given speed limit.
• Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given speed
limit.
• When approaching: The audio alert is always played. In order to draw your attention,
the alert can be different if you exceed the speed limit.
The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when GPS position is not available or if you
are in certain countries where road safety camera warning is prohibited.
4.1.6 Speed limit warning
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the road segments. The software 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. Speed
warning can be fine-tuned in Sound and Warning settings (page 69).
You can
set the relative speed above which the application initiates the warning.
The following alert types are available:
• Audio warning: you receive a verbal warning when you exceed the speed limit with the
given percentage.
• Visual warning: the current speed limit is shown on the map when you exceed it (for
example:
).
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.
