Hi,

It could be great if we can signal black ice zone of danger.

Right on target!

If you can use voice commands, ice is an option.

Please search before posting. There are several threads about ice already. It's only a voice command for now. And there are too many "slippery road" possibilities to add, so the request is to just have a single slippery road option later. It doesn't really matter why it's slippery.

I see you found one of the may other threads about this: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=33798

Please search first next time.

It is only available in the voice commands - BUT you can always select weather, tap the back button (on Android, not sure about iPhone) to not select a specific type of weather, and they add a description of "Ice" or something similar.

I would really love to have a warning for iced and slippery roads. What do you think?

Oh I don't use voice. I was looking for it in the weather warnings.
