Never mind the kids, I need some new challenges. Bring on supercharger multiplayer.

I'd like the facility to load Revenue Generation (Speed) Cameras as POI with a clear warning of cameras in the cabin.

I may be wrong, but I seem to remember there being a bit of regulation that forced the removal of speed camera locations from sat nav displays. I remember this being discussed on another forum, around the time it was rolled out several years ago. IIRC, the nav system in question originally showed speed camera locations, but an update removed them, causing a fair bit of angst, and advice to others to not use the update because of this. I may be wrong, as this was probably about 8 or 9 years ago, some time before 2013.
I don’t think that can be right. A friend gave me a lift in his Range Rover about a month ago and he was getting camera warnings. Plus you get them on google maps, waze and the like.
Yes, illegal to warn of speed cameras in some countries. e.g. France, but not in the U.K. I think

That makes sense. For manufacturers that release maps as a set for the whole of Europe, it was probably easier to just take the speed camera position layer off the mapping at the time.

Given that the facility already exists for a birds eye view when in drive & stationary, I would like this when reverse parking

Recognising speed limit, stop and give way messages written on the road. I don't think they are at the moment, or at least, not visualised.

Or software could be used to detect the country the car is in and remove the POI layer as required by law. Out Toyota has revenue generation camera locations loaded by default.

Probably could now, but the issue I remember was around 10 to 12 years ago, I think with the TomTom system integrated into the Sony head unit fitted to the car I then owned. I remember that it was flagged up on a discussion group at the time, with workarounds suggested to get the camera locations back.
Thanks for that. Very interesting. That they don't actually list the prices is always scary!
Sadly the horse has bolted. We've got a Tesla wall charger already installed. Not about to splash out simply to avoid that inconvenience. And as soon as we install one of those Solar Box things, Elon will decide to give us the ability to adjust it right in the app!

The horse can go back in the stable with one of these: Earthwise Products we use it to heat the immersion heater with surplus solar energy. It works well.
