MotoGravity Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I appreciate the automobile. I can tolerate the bothersome EU driver assistance features; nevertheless, I have a concern over the average speed camera notifications. Contextual information. I reside along the A2, making its use for commuting a frequent activity. There are average speed cameras at my crossroads. I like that it can monitor and compute my average speed, which is unprecedented for me! Nonetheless, there exists an extensive stretch of road leading home where the perceived average speed is 40, despite it being 50. Once it detects the camera and identifies it as a speed average, it will begin beeping because I am above 40. Indeed, I have silenced the speed restriction. The HUD displays a red speed of 48 and an average speed of 45, both in red. I have conducted an experiment, and when I decrease my average speed to 44, it turns yellow but continues to beep. When it decreases further to 42/43, it will cease beeping (still amber). When the average speed reaches 40, the hue transitions from amber to green. Currently, the speed signs indicate a limit of 50. I have seen information indicating that the KIA map supersedes the road speed signs, and this seems to be accurate. Is anybody aware of or experienced with other KIA models that allow the deactivation of average speed alerts? Does anybody have suggestions for a daily 10-minute beeping journey? I must contact KIA to request a map update. I seek assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMGRS Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Kia mapping is supplied by a third party (TomTom), and the delivery is already overdue. Is it imminent? Thus, pursuing Kia for updates is futile, since they are sent biannually. There is still no assurance that this mistake will be rectified. Does a prolonged push on one of the steering wheel buttons not cease the beeping? (uncertain on the selection) It is advisable to transition to Google or Apple, along with using other navigation applications that get more frequent updates.

MotoGravity Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Thank you, DMGRS. Indeed, the long press function is ineffective. I am considering addressing this with KIA to see whether there is a broader problem. Alternatively, if it pertains to a KIA map issue, they may do a thorough investigation of this route.

Flexfer Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Evaluated Kia mapping in recent days. Google Maps serves as the decisive factor for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoGravity Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I apologise for not clarifying in my post that I am not use any maps. Neither KIA navigation nor Google Maps. This is typical driving, however for some inexplicable reason, it registers the average speed as 40 mph on a dual road with posted speed limits of 50 mph.

markjay Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 It employs a synthesis of Maps and Camera. I own a segment of roadway that traverses a bus terminal. Whenever I drive by, it registers the speed limit as 10 mph. It will thereafter emit a flashing light and beep for the following 10 minutes, until I drive by a speed restriction sign, which will rectify the issue. Until that time, you are confined, as am I. I have also encountered this when travelling on a 50mph dual carriageway; upon passing under a bridge, the speed limit was subsequently reduced to 20mph, which I presume corresponds to the bridge's specifications. The vehicle enters an agitated state due to excessive speed beyond the limit. It is a very vexatious flaw. EDIT: My hypothesis is that it will not update from the Map until it detects another sign, despite seeming to use the map to establish an incorrect speed restriction.

MotoGravity Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Thank you, markjay; you are really accurate. I have discovered a method that, although not optimal, resolves my specific issue. Disabling the camera alert in Navigation will prevent the vehicle from using the camera, hence inhibiting the calculation of average speed. It is unfortunate, since I like the camera warning, particularly on unfamiliar routes. The enduring remedy is to notify KIA on this problem on my segment of the route and anticipate its rectification in the next map update. I reviewed other forums on this speed average on the site, but no solutions were provided. I hope this thread will provide a temporary resolution.

Flexfer Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Indeed, a portion of this essay pertains to how cameras detect side roads with a speed limit of 20 mph while one is travelling on the main road at far higher speeds. The same occurred with my last Ford Focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoGravity Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 To clarify, the camera alert is not triggered by the detection of signs; the vehicle would perceive these elements unless the system is off. The camera alert notifies you of a physical camera, sourced from its database, pertaining to speed regulations or average speed monitoring. This is then combined with the speed limit signs, which may be erroneous in this instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
