Speed Camera Alerts
Anyone know if it is possible to set an audible tone for speed camera alerts on the XC40? My old XC60 had an option to do this within the speedcamera POI settings, but the new XC40 seems to lack this, unless I am being stupid and have missed something? I'm not a boy racer by any stretch of the imagination, but the tone when approaching some of those "hidden" cameras was a useful reminder.
XC40 T3 Momentum Auto + Winterpack
The manual says:
Change setting for acoustic warning as follows:
1. Select Settings -> My Car -> IntelliSafe -> Road Sign Information in the centre display's top view.
2. Select/deselect Speed Camera Audio Warning to activate/switch off the audible speed camera warning.

Every time I take this car to France" (which has been never since March '20) I've had to relearn how to switch this off and on. The process still hasn't burned into my memory - it's a bit counterintuitive imho

I thought that the providers/manufacturers of Sat Navs had stopped putting speed camera data for countries like France into their systems?

I believe they get around the ban on speed camera alerts by warning that the area you are about to drive through is dangerous so you should drive with caution, or something like that.

I didn't know that - is anyone aware of anywhere I can check this, especially with reference to Volvo's satnav? I'm aware of the arguments over identifying fixed camera vs mobile camera, and how one might be ok and the other not, but my French isn't up to arguing fine legal points with the French Police.
I guess I could not switch it off and check on a camera infested road the next time I visit, which may be some time!

I read this somewhere, and I can't remember where, it may have been on a motorcycle forum. I have a BMW, Garmin manufactured, SatNav on my motorbike and it was my understanding that the speed camera data was not on it for countries such as France where use of such data had been banned. If I can confirm this, or remember where I read it, I'll let you know.gt40 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 11, 2021 11:12 am
