Satellite map visualisation and traffic on SR+

[ChrisA70]

My SR+ still has it now.

Still here this morning 50.1

 

[RealEvil_UK]

Still on mine too

 

[mo.dilwar]

Yep. Same here. Both satellite view and traffic visualisation still available for me

If the icons aren’t showing on the map, tap the map!

Traffic & Sat View have now disappeared for me. Was there yesterday (26th), gone this afternoon (27th).

I’m on 2019.40.2.1

Still on my M3 have you maybe toggled it off by mistake it's an easy one to do.

It was back on again today, so yes that’s probably what I did.

I have just been out for a drive to see how good the traffic warnings are and have to say I am really unimpressed. I thought the traffic would be real time, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Do we know where it gets it's information from? If this is £10 a month I don't think I would bother. Shame as I was really excited by this.

It’s worth note that the satellite overview settings for day and night views are separate

Drove from north of Manchester to Stafford on a busy M6 return after Christmas and it seemed pretty accurate on telling me where the traffic was. A comparison with google and Waze at the same time suggested that not giving an alternative route was due to no alternative route rather than it failing. Im not 100% sure it’s being smart yet but at least when I can see the traffic on the map, I have a better chance of proving it one way or the other.

That’s good to know, maybe it was just an odd trip for me. It was showing several orange and red lines for me when the roads were empty.

Orange and red for non existent traffic is pretty common, especially local roads. But it is useful if stuck in a jam on motorway to see how far you have to endure it for, even if the positions and type of intermediate red and yellow segments are stale. So overall useful but not a necessity.

Would I pay to have traffic etc, no, but would be nice if it could run off a hotspot (I don't think it will) for pertinent journeys.

So not comparable to waze?
