Aren't there other reminders when in SPECS areas anyway? Like small round signs with the speed limit on?

Thank you for all the carefully considered replies to my earlier comments.
I did point out that:

I hope that the forum isnt going to become a place where people are knocked back with 'smart' replies!

Only to be proved correct by: andydigital44, who replied:

When they are a 100 yds apart or so they are usualy easy to monitor, but, anyone who has travelled over A616 wil be fully aware of the huge distance a set of SPEC's can cover, in this case 6.6 miles! Dual carriageway, open road, classic money maker.

On a more positive note....

I fully agree with Skippy who wrote:

The solution is for the GPS units to get smarter and start monitoring your AVERAGE speed while you are in a SPECS zone and then remind you if your are averaging more than the speed limit.

And agree with Daren when he states:
Which is only feasible on devices that support directional alerts.

But not when he states:

Currently that's just Mio.

Sorry, but that is incorrect.

I know this devices isnt a PGSW compatible but there are devices that already do both. The Origin devices B2 and POGO do directional warnings, exceeding speed zone warnings and intermediate bleeps when with a SPECS area with excessive distance between cameras. B2 doesnt map, but the POGO does and the warnings are spot on!

I was just hoping that there was a way with a TT and the PGPSW or other application. Clearly not at present and no plans fror improvement in this regard, so I'll move on. Wink
