Thanks Leo. I must get my Mock Locations running against my test SPECS then. Laughing

All good stuff Smile

I've always run my camera devices with 15 secs for first alert and 6 secs for any subsequent overspeed warning.

Those 2 timings were taken from my first device, a Talex, and I found those distances to be perfect for me.

With Specs I don't see the point of that much warning as you don't get clocked until the second camera so just a few secs warning to slow down I consider sufficient.

That’s what is the Warning cone (degrees difference from my heading) and is why I reported it. According to the user manual, a ‘normal ‘ setting would be half way along the setting bar, guessing 50, but if it were half a right angle , it would be 45. Either 45 or 50 gets 191815 and 816 inside the main carriageway cone I guess. That’s why I think those particular Exitspecs should be better positioned.

All three of the settings can trigger false alerts of course. I’m OK with false alerts, but I don’t want false Exitspecs.

These SPECS are not mistakes?
SPECS:196206@40
SPECS:199924@40

Where it is better to ask such questions? Submission page, field 'Details & description' is ok to write there and sent entry then?

Another thing I noticed - there are forgotten EXITSPECS present in the database. Av. zone most likely was removed, but EXITSPECS remained.
52.35318,-2.06819
52.33193,-2.04987

MaFt, there’s nothing in “my cameras” and “my reports”.

@Leo_a @MaFt
Re the two 40MPH SPECS. They probably are and there are 'remove requests' for both of them. Neither of them have got 'mates' and one is a Start with no End and the other is an End with no Start.

My settings are :-
Default Range 30 seconds
Warning cone 45 degrees
Warning sensitivity 50[/quote]
On my Android I also have 'Direction difference (degrees)', that is set to 28.

If this is too large, it can trigger false alerts.

I'm presuming that Apple phones have this setting also.[/quote]

Forgive my piggerance, but is there a 'warning cone' or 'direction difference' setting in STA? If there is, I can't find it and, having just done my first major test of STA on a 500 mile round trip, it's the one feature I really needed: I was picking up a number of warnings from cameras etc which were clearly not of a type or speed for the road that I was on.

I am aware of, and use successfully, these settings in CA.
