Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2008 8:43 pm Post subject: Recommended warning distances for Speed Camera POIs |
|
|
Hello,
Big thank you for the tip regarding .ogg files, up until today I was still trying to use CheckPOInt which I've used since TTN3!
However CheckPOInt would notify me when I was a set number of seconds away (typically 30, and then again at 10 if I was speeding). TTN6 is asking me to specify a distance to warn at.
Is there a list of recommended distances for each speed?
Thanks in advance... |

There is a chart that I'll search for, but the simplest way is to multiply the speed by 10, eg for a 30mph Gatso set the warning to 300 yards, for 60mph set it to 600 yards, but double it for mobile cameras, as they can catch you from much further away. _________________ Anita

If you have a look at This page and scroll down quite a bit you will find a table that lists the seconds to distance conversion - its not rocket science, double the values given though for the mobile cameras as they can detect you at far longer ranges - Mike |
