Driving through North London the other night I have a safety warning on the x40 which is totally meaningless to me. It is an exclamation mark in a red triangle flashing like a POI warning and counting down. It was not a traffic incident and appears to be part of the safety warnings but it still there at the moment.

My 940 is set to announce safety warnings but this one gives the "polite" tone warning.

A warning without a description is not much use and you cannot browse the POI on the map, you can only pick it up with a route demo.

The approximate location of this point is Northbound:
A4008 Oxhey Lane, Pinner, GBR @51.61831°N, 0.36627°W

Any ideas what it is?

Sounds like an Accident Blackspot icon, they are rather difficult to work out what they are for at first - Mike

That is what I thought it might be but I hoped it would say "Accident Blackspot" as the options are selected to "read aloud warnings" and "read aloud POI warnings" .

Maybe it is an accident blackspot as people at that point fiddle with their Satnavs to find out what the warning is and crash Rolling Eyes
