is the speedlimit always on or only when you pass the limit?
On Android without the code you have no speed limit functions at all. With the code you get the menu options, and the speedometer shows the gray meter for your speed and can alert for speeding. The actual limit is only shown once you reach it, but you can tell if there is a limit on the segment at all by looking for the gray line.

In US you mean? Yes
In a few other countries, SL are always on, without the debug code ;)
The feature, however, is not yet available in the United States, as it is being rolled out initially to Belgium, Austria, Colombia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, France, El Salvador, Hungary, Latvia, Italy, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago. There is no word yet on when the feature will arrive for users in the country, but it should be soon.
When I first sent this message it was before the feature was released in all those countries. The behaviour I described is for those countries/states which have not yet had the speed limit feature officially released yet. At this point some states in the USA also have been officially released to production without the code.
However even if the feature without the code, the code is supposed to make the SL visible at all times (but I don't think that works yet on Android).

For some reason the app doesn't seem to keep the screen on when driving with it in foreground. Did I read correctly that it should be keeping device awake now?

This has been discussed and settled previously.

Play with staging for the next trip.

I've added extra debug. You'll see "age" in the drive status and the URs submitted will also have that data.

age is in milliseconds, drive status updates each second

If you wanted to be creative you could include in your report the distance traveled during that "age" since the lat/lon was acquired.

Code: Select all

(Current kmh speed ÷ 3,600 {= meters per millisecond}) × age in ms = approximate meters traveled

I was thinking of it as well, he could be even placing the UR on an extrapolated position towards heading, but with delays over 1+ second, especially in turns on a curved road, it would be highly speculative.

But with accuracy under some 10 meter and the usual position age often under 300-400 msec… [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] Worth a try?

Sent from a touch display, which took care of perfectly scrambling my thoughts.
I don't know about manipulating the actual position, that seems like a stretch. Giving the info in an easy to read manner leaves it up to the Editor to decide how to use. Remember the heading could also be wrong and in the opposite direction.

We'll switch screens with swipe left/right.
(swipe up to go to config)

Let me know what screen you need.

I was thinking if you swipe right, you get to the single sign marker. HUGE sign with the speed near your speed. Does this makes sense to anyone?
For many drivers, to assume the sign above their actual speed is the speed limit is false. For many the sign BELOW the actual speed is closer.

Two comments:
1) on Android the app does not prevent the device from sleeping, so my screen keeps turning off while driving with the app in the forefront.
2) the URs being generated do not have the "+" plus sign between the acc. And the estimated margin of error.

PS is there any plans for a quick switch method on Android?

This is my plan:
- swipe up - show the config ( swipe here is disabled, can exit by saving )
- swipe left - show the same signs but with a arrow pointing right ( for ramp speeds )
- swipe right - near speed mode ( show three big near speeds base on actual speed )
- swipe down - 42
If the swipe down is not needed right now, could you add a large text field to drop a UR with all the generated info like accuracy speed etc, and also include the text entered in the box.

Depending on the situation I might stop, or be a passenger and typing while we're driving. It may not necessarily even be for a sign, I might want to mark a new camera location, or construction, or other note.
