 |
|
| How do I stop the application from flashing up annoying speed limit signs on the screen every few seconds when I stray a mile an hour over the local limit. I've found how to suppress the sound by having "silence" for overspeed warnings but I don't want any warnings at all except for approaching cameras. |

What works for me is.
Go to settings, then scroll to bottom, click on Advanced Settings, then about 4/5 options down you will see 'Overspeed Warnings".
Tap on that and there are a number of options, the top one is to turn it off.
No need to adjust your volume settings then.
See if that does the trick.

Apart from the obvious solution, I don't think there is a way of stopping the visual, over-speed warnings.

I had already found these settings and even selected Silence but somehow had missed the None option. Duh. How dumb am I? Thanks for your help anyway!  |

Correct - 'none' turns off the visual and audible alerts. 'silence' keeps the visual but removes the audible.

Don't worry, we've all been there 
Glad it's sorted.

If using "Silence", should we still be expecting the audio glitch when the overspeed "toast" is displayed? Makes Mick Jagger sound like Norman Collier!!

Yes, because it plays a silent sound as opposed to not playing anything.

Is there any possibility of adding this to the "to do" list, to not play anything, rather than a "silent sound"? It is valuable having the pop-up remind you of the camera speed limit, but, as I use my phone as my main audio source in the car, it's very distracting having the "hiccups"!

I've passed it on to Code Monkey. |
