Strange, I also am on 1.1.26 Beta V81, but it wasn't offered for download and I have my apps set not to auto update Confused

edit: Apparently last updated on 23rd Jan!

Hi,
This Sunday I rolled out a new version (82) in production. I always put the app in beta-channel first, then release it to production. Currently both versions they are the same.

What's new:

- full support of exitspecs. Database still contains them as specs end. A week or two is needed to wait when most of users upgrade.

- one thing I forgot to mention in previos messages: with map data (road network) the app tries to suppress false alerts from roads nearby. But only on motorways. On other roads this may be unsafe in some situations

Thanks for the heads up Leo.
I'll give it a whirl against my test Specs with the exit specs

Oh yes, V82, never spotted that coming in.

Not sure when I'm next using car from Reading as I now mostly use the, free for me, train. Definitely within the next week though.

Some updated stuff about using the database. How to load it into the app without PC, Usb, unzip, GDrive, etc.

I use GDrive because trying to navigate to the PGPSW page on a tiny phone screen I find awkward. Old eyes and fat finger syndrome.

I use my 10" tablet (with pinpoint accuracy S-Pen) to download then share into GDrive then manage databases in the app.

Interesting thread and a nice new app work around for the Cameralert problem for us Samsung users, just about to pay for the full version.

I wonder could someone give me advice on the camera alerts set up on the fixed camera setting for example, I have my first warning set at 15 seconds and variable distance ticked as I previously had it set up as and I find this setting meets my needs.

What are the effects of the next settings
a) speed difference to speed limit to activate audible alert at the moment I have this set as any.
b) speed excess warning at the moment it is set at 1/8 mile
c) beeper distance at the moment set at 700 yards and
d) speed to activate beeper at the moment set at 10 mph

At the moment I have the speed limits section turned off.

Any help would be much appreciated as usual

There are a lot of settings I don't fully understand either.
I'm sure Leo will be here later.

That speed related setting presumably is to suppress warnings when you're crawling in traffic.

I have my phone on permanent vibrate only so I get zero overspeed or other related stuff that doesn't go through bluetooth, which seems to be quite a lot.

All I get is camera ahead warnings
