Ive tried GPS assist and I liked the feature where you could set the warning in meters.

However in Checkpoint, its set in seconds.

As you are all long time users of Checkpoint, what times have you found works best for the warnings.

For eg. do you set a 30mph at 5 or 10 seconds and a 30mph mobile camera at say 20 seconds?

The great thing about setting warnings in units of time rather than distance is that you don't have to worry about using different settings for different speeds. Once you have found your own preferred warning/reaction time it should work equally well at 30mph or 100mph. Try 20 seconds to start with, then shorten it if you find that too long, lengthen it if you find it too short.

I agree time in secs is great, because if your going faster than you should be the time is ajusted to match your speed. I tend to use 30 for first warning and 10 for second I also set a warning at 20 secs to remind me what the limit is.
