Speed Limit Warnings

Bugreport for Ovi Maps 3.0 Beta for mobile

30-06-2009 10:48

I have just downloaded the latest beta for maps.

Works quite well I like the countdown in yards for an approaching speed camera.

There are two 'On' options in the settings for Speed Limit Warning's

On Visual & Verbal
or
On Visual

With it set to On Visual & Verbal I did NOT get the verbal warning. This is crucial as I prefer to keep my eyes on the road. The old beta did give the warning "You are driving over the speed limit". Hope this is a genuine bug and can be fixed?

A nice option would be to select what sound file to play for Speed Limits and Camera's. The default could be the normal verbal warning or you could select something else like a cash register.

Keep up the good work, Regards.

It seems like the verbal warning is triggered only for 30% over the speed limit. At least that was my experience when driving in the north of Italy, I'd only get the verbal warning when the speed limit changed abruptly and I didn't slow down fast enough.

I would be happy getting a warning a say 5mph over the limit, as the limit is there for a reason and in the UK some area's work on the exact speed and others seem to give 10% extra for differences in speedometers. So on a 30mph limit in the UK a speed camera (either fixed or mobile) could catch you at either 30mph or 33mph, but if what you say is correct I would need to do 40mph which I am not prepared to do just to test a warning and doing 90+ on a 70mph limit is totally wrong.

Our town is now covered in 20mph limits outside schools, which are also covering in speed cushions. Speed warning are needed correctly or a very slight percentage above the limit, not 30%

Maps team can we please have all our speed limits back that you have took out and the warnings back, even if you have a settings option for percentage over the limit.

I have mentioned quite a lot of this is other threads/posts, but needed to comment. Sorry!
