4.1.5.1 Camera types
There are different types of Road Safety Cameras. For example:
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. The software warns you when you
approach these speed cameras in the measured direction. If your
speed exceeds the speed limit near the speed camera, a special
warning sound is played.
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.
The software 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 your software 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 icon is displayed.
4.1.5.2 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. The software warns you only if you drive in a measured or possibly measured
direction.
Rail Crossing
This is not a camera but an alert point. The warning is similar to
mobile speed cameras: as there is no speed limit given, only the
warning icon is displayed. This warning icon may not be available
for your region (ask your local dealer).
