|
|
Hi all,
I have turned on tt function to warn (sound) when riding faster than speed limit on the road.Display shows that in format current speed/ speed limit.
The trouble starts when I am doing 30/30 and it doesn't start to warn until I reach 34/30
is there a way to solve that. I do not to use setting when it would always inform about set speed (30 for ex) as it makes no sense while going on a motorway.
Cheers
ps. is this problem was mentioned in another topic, I do apologise. |

This is designed to warn you if you are consistently going too fast. It gives a bit of leeway if you creap over the limit slightly before alerting. It also stops alerting once you are slowing down even before you hit the "limit".
It is linked to the limit - you'll see that it gives a bigger leeway on motorways than on city streets. _________________ Gerry

True !
But, i would it useful to be informed while going just over the limit.
imagine mobile speed camera, i am doing 45 on 40 and tomtom warns when beeing over the limit
there should be an option to choose from, as i havent seen any , i stay with the question is there a way to overpass it ? |

Use the speed camera warnings from this site, far more effective and also the maps do not know many of the speed limits and are often incorrect. _________________ Drivelux |

Very typical for this forum, this works more or less this way :
q: Why my tomtom doesn't play sounds ?
a: Use speed cameras from this site.
So a question once more : is there a plugin/patch/whatever to make tomtom warn when doing 31 on 30 ?
Using argument this is used for "constant" speeding.
When doing 30 (acc to the clock) tomtom shows 26, so when I am warnd about speeding (35 acc to tt) i am really doing 40. |

Er no. The actual speed you are doing is whatever the TomTom says. The speedo in your car always OVER-READS i.e. says you are doing 30 but you are actually doing 26 mph. The TT will be pretty much spot on. |

Hardly! You asked a question and you got an answer!

And once again an answer, NO.

No, your GPS speedo is much more accurate. if it says you are travelling at 35 then you are! _________________ Darren Griffin |

Well the typical answer from the forum is NO.
