Speed cameras POI
Quote from Guido on 26.05.2022, 21:11Also please be careful with big POI groups. I recommend keeping the POI groups below 1000. See above in this thread for more details.

- Am I missing something or is the POI function still not working properly in version 3.10.? I can see POI’s on the map but need audible notification of upcoming speed cameras on my route and the ability to manage groups of POI’s just like we had in v2. For me (second only to navigation) this is the most important feature of the app and the reason I adopted it as my goto nav app. Based in the UK there so many cameras on the roads these days, for me it’s an essential (currently missing) feature.

Quote from Guido on 12.07.2022, 10:08I understand. Unfortunately the performance problems that Scenic is facing with large poi groups (= the reasons why I have not implemented audible alerts yet and also why I recommend not to use big >2000 POI groups), are caused by the HERE framework, not by Scenic code. So, I can't solve it myself. Well... the only way to solve this is to switch to HERE's new framework. I'm doing this after the summer. So, I'm afraid this will be something for next riding season. Sorry.

Quote from Sorefeet on 12.07.2022, 14:50Thanks for the reply Guido, I understand this is beyond your control so hope it can be resolved in the medium term. After a couple of recent offences (35 in 30 zones) I think I’ll need to explore other options for my general A-B routing and perhaps just use Scenic for more complex routes.

Quote from GHJ on 18.07.2022, 04:19I'm using a workaround for camera warnings. I run the app flitsmeister in the background, witch gives audible warnings and small popups on the display.

Quote from ipro on 19.10.2022, 13:15Hi Guido,
didnyou think about an interface to Blitzer.de database ?there are a lot of mobile and stationary POIs wich are updated real-time through the Blitzer.de network Not only in Germany - it works in France, Swiss and Italy as i know
Perhaps this feature may be not for free…

Ingo

Quote from Guido on 19.10.2022, 13:19Hi Igno,
During fall/winter I'm migrating Scenic to the new HERE framework. This has built in speed cameras, which I will make available in Scenic. I don't know what the underlying data is for the speed cams in HERE. I suspect it's not as good as Blitzer for the mobile checks, but since Scenic is worldwide, I prefer to use the built in solution, in stead of integrating with many local sites like Blitzer. Hope you understand.
Best regards,
Guido

I've just signed up for and started using Scenic, and was looking to try and import speed camera data for the UK, however, based on what you're saying in your last post it might be worth just waiting until that capability is built in natively. I just wanted to check whether you have any idea of the likely timeline for migrating to the new HERE framework and implementing the built in speed camera data?
Thanks,
Alex

I’m migrating Scenic to the new HERE framework over winter, and will be adding the speed cam database while I’m at it. If all goes according to plan this should be ready by the time the motorcycle season starts in the UK.

Quote from PeteRT on 21.11.2022, 13:41I love the way Scenic is constantly evolving. Over time the app with ideas from the users are implemented by Guido into an app that just gets better. Out of curiosity apart from speed cameras what does the new HERE map framework improve on over the current framework ?

The most important reason for the migration is that HERE is decommissioning their old framework. The new framework is built on a new modernized code base, and positions it for future additions.
For the moment I will be transferring all Scenic functionality 1-to-1. I will be adding speed cams and some more map customization options.
Later on I will expand more, but most important is to at least keep current functionality, but then running on the new framework

Quote from theigi on 10.07.2023, 03:26Wait for the upcoming update. It works great with fixed cameras. Only in a few countries it is not legally allowed, such as Germany. In e.g. Austria, Slovenia, Croatia it works wonderfully, are the countries where I have tested so far.

I'm in UK, so it should be legal.
Thanks. Which update is that? Is this being tested in beta and about to be released soon or? In UK, speed cameras are a big thing, part of every big navigation app, Google Maps have them, Waze, TomTom. I've read something that Detecht will soon release an update introducing speed cameras, but I would really prefer to stay with Scenic.

Quote from Sarus on 28.11.2023, 07:30Hi,
I'm new here, so sorry if I have not seen all/or missed some from this topic...
I would propose for germany (also seems to handle most of europa too) -> blitzer.de (also the name of the app)
this is the best app for warning from speed-cams with a tremendous big user-base, so you have also a good reliable source for mobile speed-cams (they compete with watze easily) ...
As I have seen that they are working with other companies (e.g. hardware like onoo) together, there should be an api for accessing their data
-> perhabs you could reach out to them, would be gift 😉
