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 not
part of the software. You can download them from alpine.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 68).
The following alert types are available:
•
Audio warning: beeps or the spoken type of the alert can be played while you are
approaching one of these points, or extra alert sounds if you exceed the given speed
limit while approaching.
•
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.
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.
Note!
The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when the GPS position is not
yet 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.
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.
4.1.7 Traffic information in route planning
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline statistical traffic
information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can be taken into account in the
route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists.
In addition, real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary
