When you say you have "CameraAlert set to use iPhone speaker" does this mean there is an option somewhere not to use the speaker?

The only option I can see under settings is for sound warnings to be either on or off. If there are no headphones plugged in then sound comes out of the speaker, if headphones are plugged in then the sound comes out of the headphones?

When I press the 'note' icon on the home page there is another small icon in the top right of the music/volume bar which toggles between a note with an arrow next to it, and what looks like sound coming out of a speaker. But it doesn't actually seem to do anything as far as I can see, and I can't see any mention of it in the user manual.

Any ideas what it is there fore?

As CamerAlert uses the iPhone "Maps" is it possible to "Show Traffic" too.

This would be really helpfull.

When using TomTom and using iPhone as a Phone (rare but does happen)the volume settings are unaltered between docking etc. However CamerAlert always reverts to average volume when docked and started. Can this be programmed to remember the last volume setting? (In my case always maximum) I have to remember to turn up the volume on the TomTom CarKit each time which doesn't occur when making or receiving phone calls.
Thanks

I was recently looking at a camara info on the speedcamara submit page where you can edit, request delete, etc.. by mistake i pressed the delete button Sad

which just sent away the request to PGPSW. can you please add a confirmation window so that such mistakes would not happen. I think it will save your good time on reviewing such requests. apologies if this was previously being notified.
thank you

When the list of upcoming cameras is empty, the next section heading of other cameras in the area comes immediately below it and then it shows the list of those cameras. When you glance quickly at the screen it is difficult to differentiate the 2 sections. Would it be possible to have a blank line after the top section if it is empty so you can clearly see that there are no upcoming cameras?

Cheers

really pleased the app is now using full screen on iPad but the speed icons and the bottom menus icons are no very much smaller than before. Can they be bigger there is plenty of screen to play with ?

I generally use CamerAlert behind my satnav app so I don't see what it displays.

Would it be possible to have the option of a repeating warning when over speed approaching a camera. Something like repeating just the speed limit every 5 seconds would be enough for me, but how about a repeating beep as an alternative setting.

Yes, that is one of the features we are looking at for the next version.

Perfect

Now if (and only if) you need more of a challenge, can you find a way of suppressing the alerts from parallel roads etc when it's highly unlikely that I would be changing road. My commute has a 70mph limited access dual carriageway alongside a 30 mph residential road and I always get to 30 warnings.

I accept that GPS accuracy can have an impact, and I guess that I should start tweaking the warning settings, but I am afraid to start missing legitimate warnings.

In fact I guess my reluctance to tinker with the warning defaults is not unusual, how about a few pre-set collections of detection settings (eg high sensitivity, normal, low sensitivity) for people like me?
