Speedtrap Alert for Android (Split from CamerAlert Thread re

Just turn off the overspeed warning for SPECS. You are obviously a competent driver who abides by the speed limit and who is fully able to control your speed, so do you really need a SPECS overspeed warning at all in any SPECS section?
If you have your phone visible, you get an average speed readout.

Settings ~ Alerts ~ Average speed check ~ Speed excess warning ~ Sound effect = None. Does that not fix it? Or is that just overspeed on the approach which would be about as much use as tits on a bull. I'll have to run my GPS emulator at it later.

I may be losing it but isn't there an option to download a basic map and, of so, how do you do it please?

You are.

There is not. Sad

It runs 'on the top' of Google maps.

Hi.
Next beta version, code 86, name "1.1.28 beta". Just published, will be available within couple of hours.

New:
Improved average speed check. Now the app builds (tries to build) full av. zone of chained SPECS. Previous version only finds closest SPECS. Length of predicted route has been extended x1.5 times in order to cover typical av. zone (20-30 mi) completely. Road network required.

Thanks Leo

I guess this is related to the M4 / A329(M) possible bug I found ?

I'll be doing that section again next Monday morning, 6th Jul, I'll report back.

Next investigation.

I don't know if anyone else has had this, but, I've had a few occasions where I've been driving the M4 (road not important) and passed a camera with no warning. When I glance down at the phone STA has turned off.
I've not used the phone for anything else, just fired up STA at journey start and left it alone in its holder.

Hi Leo

I always use the speedo only display. The phone is in a Brodit active mount for Samsung Galaxy S10. No inbound or outbound call activity or phone touched for anything. The phone isn't in my line of sight so I don't spot it happening.

It doesn't happen very often and when it does it's just once per journey.

What I have just remembered though is that when I go to tap the STA icon to restart it there is a 'notification' marker on the icon, but whilst driving, checking what it is is impossible and it always seems to be on the M4 so I can't pull over to check..

Because I'm losing the speedo and alerts it's presumably cancelled both. How sensitive is the HFT 'Stop Application and Service' feature. Could that perform a double check with a small time lapse (assuming that's what's happening).

The notification marker is to tell you that the STA service is running and can't be dismissed. Couch test it and see.
