|
|
Last week I was driving at about 110kph for about 3 hours when suddenly a red box popped up next to my speed indicator with the number (something like) 256 and avg below it. Can anybody tell me what that was - I touched the screen and it disappeared. Never seen it before and don't know how it popped up to return it |

CamerAlert is reporting that you are in a SPECS type (average speed section) area [256 is your average speed] and that you are speeding [red box].
OK, that's what CamerAlert is reporting - this may be down to poor GPS signal. If it happens a lot then please ensure that you have the latest version of the software and also the latest version of the database.
What phone/device are you running CamerAlert on?
What version of CamerAlert are you running?
What version of the camera database are you running?
If you regularly drive the same road and get the same display then we need to check that the camera sites are correct. It could also be a local transmitter affecting things.
By the way, touching the screen near the speed will manually turn on or off the average speed monitor.
Have you read the online manual for CamerAlert on the Android?
Hope this helps.

Thanks Privateer,
I am running v1.3.5.548 and database 10.032 (31635) on HTC Desire HD and yes in Australia the screen does break up a lot - often compressing the screen to a tightly condensed screen of a huge area - e.d. the entire city and then resets its self to the area I am driving.
I don't drive the stretch of road often but thanks for explaining it to me - I wasn't aware of the SPECS type (average speed section).
I haven't read the manual - but will - shame it cant be downloaded to a PDF as it is a bugbear for me to read on the screen
Rgds,

The Australian average speed cams are usually in the form of 'Safe-T-Cams' - that, as far as I'm aware, are only used to track HGV's along the major routes as well as various other HGV-specific stuff.
As Privateer suggested, you can tap the speed/average speed to close this mode.

I rather enjoyed learning that I was averaging 256 Kph - don't think my car would do that but it looked good |
