Apple Maps in iOS 14 Warns Drivers of Speed and Red Light Cameras

[MacRumors]

Apple is adding multiple new features to the Maps app in iOS 14, including Apple Maps icons that will let users know when they're approaching speed cameras and red-light cameras along a route.

Little detail is given about the new camera warning icons, but Apple says that they will let users see where individual cameras are located on the map.

Maps lets you know when you're approaching speed cameras and red-light cameras along your route. You can also see where individual cameras are located on the map.

It's not clear if this feature will be limited to select areas, countries or will have a wide rollout, and it does not appear to be implemented in the initial iOS 14 beta as an examination of the Maps app with various routes did not display icons for traffic cameras.

Apple Maps is gaining cycling directions, electric vehicle routing, and a new Guides recommendation that will help you find the best places to visit when taking a trip to a new location. Many of these features have not been added to the initial iOS 14 beta.

I was hoping Apple Maps would have music controls available for Apple Music in iOS 14.😞

Seems dangerous to point out the speed cameras.

Why? Several mapping apps already do this. I think it is a good feature.

Give us something relevant we actually could use , like POLICE reports / Speed Traps

I don’t know; seems like helping\encouraging someone To maintain the speed limit the whole time versus telling them when to slow down is a better idea.

It’s akin to pointing out speed traps. Which is illegal in some parts of the US.

Over here in the UK, speed camera notifications is one of the reasons I still use my TomTom.

I would like it to tell me on screen what the current speed limit in my location is. And what my speed is, and a user set over speed warning.

But it can help me avoid a ticket, so I'll take it

Someday cars will auto report you speeding for points and automatically deduct the fee from your bank account.

Nice, this with EV charging points is shaping up to be a nice update to Apple Maps which I personally prefer over Google.

 

[allenvanhellen]

I just want to be able to put transit routes onto my Calendar.

Soooo waze?

Yes. Exactly like Waze. Minus the Google.

heres a shocking revelation, not speeding also means you avoid a ticket, ever think of that?

honestly this feature needs to be illegal. It’s not ok to point out speed cameras to help morons break the law more easily.

Waze has Spotify, Pandora and Deezer integration. Yandex Maps has Yandex Music. Etc.

it’s dangerous and even illegal in certain countries (France) to display speed traps.

Where I live the cameras are put on problem intersections. I’ve seen people slam on the brakes, which can cause accidents because they were not paying attention and only notice them at the last second. I wouldn’t mind this because it helps prevent the brake-slamming yet still lets The intersection benefit from the reduced accidents.

You can control your music within the Waze app. It seems like such a simple feature. I was sure it would get included in the next update. I attached a screenshot.

It’s illegal in a lot of places here in the US as well.

Actual fact: many places (including California) require red light cameras to be publicly disclosed and warning signs posted to ensure their job is safety, not revenue. Their job should to prevent you from running the light, everything else is secondary.

Your idea of speed trap may be different than mine. I have always viewed a speed trap as a speed limit change specifically used to trick people into speeding for the purpose of writing tickets.

Oh I see. CarPlay takes care of that but still not a bad idea for people without it.

Our roads and, although they’ve closed the gap a tiny bit over the decades, cars are woefully outdated compared to Germany (also we under train our drivers and let them start driving too young).

I prefer that mentality.

Look when the speed limit is 60 and everyone's going 80, I'm going to be at least somewhere in the middle.

Residential streets, I never speed. On the highway I push 10-15 over the limit like most people do.
