New update is on my phone!!

[D Griffin]

Hello all, new update is on my phone and I like the new look! I was in the forum today surfing around and see a lot of chat about speed cams. I know we have many countries on here and maybe the term speed cam differs. Here in the USA a speed cam is when...I'm driving down the road and they have a semi "hidden" camera which snaps my pic because I'm speeding then sends me a ticket vie the mail. Is there now a way to turn this feature on on the MRA app? The feature which warms me when I am approaching a "speed camera"? Thanks

The feature is enabled in the options. Be aware that the speed camera data is not necessarily very up to date. Temporary cameras that can be moved around are a problem. Check your Audio options under Speed Warnings.

and using this option in Germany is against the law

[Corjan Meijerink]

We therefore do not even give warnings in Germany

[Guzzist]

@Corjan-Meijerink are you forced as manufacturer, by law to disable it in Germany? Or would it be enough to pop up a warning with the message "usage of it is prohibited in Germany!"?

In my opinion, a manufacturer would sufficiently fulfil its obligation by providing the relevant information.

It is up to each individual to decide whether they want to comply with the law!
We do not need an additional layer above the law enforcement authorities.

[Corjan Meijerink]

In this case we are forced by the software supplier - HERE simply does not provide the information for countries where it is not allowed

@Corjan-Meijerink thank you for clarification

I have written this earlier: just use an app like Flitsmeister on your phone and let it do it's highly appreciated work in the background. I know it's not legal in some countries, but the chance of getting caught is negligible, specially if you wear your phone in your pocket. I love it.

@Rob-Veerman Don't want another app!! I subscribe to MRA and that s what runs on the bike. And I only do that because it Bluetooths to my radio on my bike...So therefore no using the phone on the bike. If it is available on MRA I wanna use it....It will pop up on my bike screen and all will be good...

@Cookie-On-Tour USA here.....written in my original message. But thank you if I ever got to Germany I will remember that.

@D-Griffin It's an old song from the Stones: "You can't always get what you want" .

[Lex.Kloet.RX]

I live in Germany and I have my own speedcam warning: the sound of my engine, combined with the gear it's in, tells me fairly accurately with which speed I am travelling (no, not driving, since I watched a few videos of American sovereign citizens ).

[peha]

@Rob-Veerman Or you could, you know, just not exceed the speed limit, which is there for a reason, and not be a hazard to others and yourself. There really are plenty of legal opportunities to go really fast (in Germany, especially).

[Corjan Meijerink]

We really don't need a debate about the use of speed camera warnings / user preferences in how to drive / the desire to please the law.

I feel like the question of @D-Griffin is answered so this thread will be locked.
