Speed camera notification bug?

Post by PhantomFlanFlinger
My main home to work route is M1 J10 to J5 but I'm often in Dunstable at J11.

Whilst travelling on the motorway, the App speed camera notification pops up with the usual distance countdown. The thing is, the countdown is too early and finishes well before the actual camera.
Looking at the App, the image for the camera is where it should be in relation to the physical camera, it's just that the countdown notification seems to think the camera is closer than it is.

Unfortunately, it's not all cameras and isn't necessarily related to motorway cameras either as I get it at a camera in Watford. It does seem to be the same cameras for me though. The 2 gantry cameras between M1 J11 and J10 are 2 that spring to mind. The 2 northbound cameras are OK though.

I use a Galaxy S4. Has anyone else had the issue??

Waze have now marked my bug report as Closed with a note that it was fixed in beta version 3.7.2.912.

What is the current play marketplace version?

I noticed this bug in iOS versions whilst on the M42 J7-J3A. Had forgotten about it until I saw this.

Happened on a couple of gantry cams. Exactly as described by the Flan.

The thing that confuses me (easily done :lol: ) is that the camera shows the correct place on the App and the GPS matches it.
It's the notification that doesn't seem to tie in with the location of the camera on the map.

Will try a screenshot next time I see it.

OK, here is a screenshot with the problem.

As you can see from the notification, I should almost be at the camera. If the camera symbol was there too, it might just be a placement issue, but you can see the camera symbol is away up the purple line, matching the physical placement of the gantry camera.

The notification at this point is about 100m before the camera.

It happens on both southbound gantry cameras, but it's OK on the northbound ones. :?:

Also happens on a normal streetside Truvelo in Watford, though I did move that one a couple of weeks back as it was in the wrong position. Coincidence??

It does happen, but not all the time. :?

In the case of my screenshot, it didn't happen.

Closing and restarting the client allows the circles to reappear on the next camera, but again after that no further cameras are so marked until the client is restarted.
Certainly seems to be the case with me too.

Just a thought, but could someone delete the southbound camera here :

and I'll add it back in on my way to work tonight, just to see if it makes any difference to the notification.

I've added a new camera. Could someone please delete the approved camera and move the new one into position.

I'll check it once the tiles have been updated.

Thanks.
