4.1.3 Road
safety cameras and other proximity alert points (Only some
countries and regions)
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).
The application can warn you when you approach road safety cameras like speed
cameras or dangerous areas like school zones or railroad crossings. Y
ou can set up
the different alert types individually in Warning Settings (page 78).
The following alert types are available:
•
Audio warning: When approaching one of these points, a beep sound (regular
sound) can be used or the type of warning can be announced (TTS), and an extra
alert can warn you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching the
point.
•
Always: 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 points.
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.
Setting can be selected using
Warning Settings:
•
Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given
speed limit.
•
When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of
these alert points. T
o draw you attention, the alert may differ if you exceed the
speed limit.
The warning for road safety cameras is disabled when you are in a country where
road safety camera warning is prohibited. However, you must ensure on your own
liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.

4.1.4 Speed limit warning (Only some countries and regions)
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the roads. The navigation
system 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 on the map.
The speed warning can be set from the W
arning Settings (page 78).
Setting can be selected using Warning Settings:
•
Audio warning: You will hear a warning beep if you exceed the speed limit by a
certain percentage.
•
Visual warning: If you exceed the speed limit on a road, the speed limit for the
current road is shown on the map.
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.
4.1.5
Traffic information in route planning (Only some countries and regions)
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline
historical 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 road closures or a traffic jam
caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data availability .
Select
after selecting on the MAP screen to display the historical traffic
information on the map. A 2D map is displayed with road segments colored by the
density of the traffic in the given period. The current information is shown when
you open the screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired
period.
