Not Working Properly

[suziedog]

Well I downloaded the app, updated the database, got it all setup on my IPhone and went out to give it a run.

Very nice interface and generally seems to be a well designed app.

The only problem I found was, it only works some of the time.

I had a full GPS signal but found it kept missing static cameras, sometimes annonced it was "all clear" and was very hit and miss in general.

I will give it the benefit of the doubt whilst the faults are addressed but so far it is too unreliable to be taken seroiusly.

Can you tell me what version of the database you have installed on your iPhone?

Settings | Update cameras |

And when you say it misses static cameras, are you saying you pass cameras not marked or alerted on our map or marked but not alerted or something else?

Ok thanks, is your iPhone audio from the iPhone or routed through some other source?

And finally, can you give me any example cameras that were affected?

the camera alerts are directional so you will only get an audible warning if you are going the 'right' way - were these cameras in your direction or were they on the other carriageway?

also, when you go to the sound settings do you have sound alerts turned on for all the camera types? (settings cog / sound warnings [little blue arrow]) then scroll down to make sure static, redlight, etc are ticked.

if you press the 'Warnign sound' button do you hear the spoken warning (or which ever sound is selected) ?

one last thing to check is the advanced warning settings - at the top right where you select the warning range in seconds press the small blue arrow - the default values for the 'Additional warning parameters' should be around the middle of the sliders.

if you could also locate the cameras on the submission map and post their ID numbers then that might help us to work out what is happening.

Another option to get a better view of whats going on is to drive that stretch of road on my way home in the morning as its not really much out of the way - Mike

Seems like very few of the fixed cams have got headings along this stretch. Here's most of them:
1702@30 330
948@40 190
2050@40 6
947@40 158
698@40 176
699@40 162
2627@40 367
2627@40 looks like it should be at 52.93963 -2.18813 with hdg of 0
700@60 Shown on southbound so 147
2636@60 311
951@60 128
701@60 159
311@50 300
2637@50 120
306@60 11
1001@30 168 reversible???
