F*** those ****s at Waze
Discussion
Fortunately this was not in the U.K., so it will only be a fine and not points.
Ive fallen victim to the problem Waze had had since the dawn of time, that it keeps turning the volume down all by itself. Thus not giving audible camera warnings. This resulted in me going passed a fixed camera marginally above the prosecution limit.
Those f
kers just cannot program something where the volume stays audible. This has been a consistent problem across multiple devices. Usually I do an audio check every hour or so, but yesterday I didn’t. fkers.
Just beware if people tell you how great it is - in reality is is not reliable unless you look at it often for visual warnings. Don’t count on hearing it.
It also will never give an audible warning if you are below the speed limit, which can be tricky with the acceleration power of a bike.

I never realised that it doesn't give an audible warning if you're already travelling below the speed limit. I think that one area that could be enhanced is the time/distance calculation for the audible camera/police warning should be commensurate to the leptons. At present, it seems to be a fixed distance warning.

always someone or something else's fault not your own for failing to observe the speed limit and even observe LOL Ive fallen victim to the problem Waze had had since the dawn of time, that it keeps turning the volume down all by itself.

This is a bike forum. Not a forum for tut-tutting old age pensioners getting irate when somebody overtakes their mobility scooter. Did you read the part where I said I knew my speed to the kilometre, but the cameras themselves are camouflaged? Go browse a more suitable,forum, like “Which Zimmer frame”croyde said:
Isn't having something that tells you where the cameras are, illegal in France?
So doesn't Waze inform in some other subtle way?
Yes, they are marked as “police” rather than cameras. I think this relies on drivers pressing the report police button. So doesn't Waze inform in some other subtle way?

I hate this too - it only alerts you if you happen to be above the speed limit half a mile before the camera. It should, imo, alert to a camera even if you're not speeding - and once half a mile out, another one within a few hundred yards. Why this can't be user-configurable I have no idea.Funk said:

It drives me nuts - I’ve no idea under what circumstances it does or does not warn you. Sometimes it pings the camera - other times I get no audible warning of the camera. How hard can it be? If there’s a copper or a camera I ALWAYS want an audible prompt. As an aside - I keep reading that google maps has speed cameras - links to news articles on this are easily found on google. I can’t find any option to see speed cameras - and believe me I’ve looked.
