Problem: doesn't read sign
For this feature to work, you must have your smartphone dash-mounted so that its back-facing camera has a clear, unobstructed view of the road.

If you don't have a dash-mount, and you're holding your phone like this:

then you may be covering the phone's camera lens with your fingers. Try holding the phone by its sides, above the steering wheel.

This feature also doesn't yet read signage properly in certain languages. Especially Canadian, eh?

Hope this helps!

You're supposed to add them together, the speed limit is 100MPH.

Actually the speed limit is 45 in the span between the signs. I don't see a problem here.

So where do you think the wrong speed limit should be, in the middle of the road?

Problem: It has me go south multiple exits then get off and go north past where I got off to go south when I can go north from the beginning
Now I'm lost, too!

This was reported here on I-90 westbound, just past the Framingham exit for Rt 9, which is also east <--> west. So this must have happened at the I-95 exit, which was 10 miles back. If you zoom in, you can see the tire swerve marks that occurred while he was typing. :lol:

Problem: too long estimate
Getting onto westbound Mass Pike from I-95. I wonder if the estimate was long enough.
