Hi @guidomm

Do you have a beta version that can be used to get the speed limit function back or an ETA for a fix?

Speed limits are available already. If they are not showing, have a look here: https://scenic.app/help/no-speed-limits/

Speed cameras is what I was referring to.

Not giving out dates anymore to avoid further disappointment.

Cheers, I think the last updated must have removed my offline maps.
Reinstalled and all good, Waze running in the background provides speed camera warnings....

Hey, I am missing the Speed Limit of the current street/road at the moment. I am using the latent Scenic version and all settings are (still) the same. Is there anybody with the same problem?

If it’s on a street where it shows before but not anymore now then something is wrong I would say.

did you check here for troubleshooting? https://scenic.app/help/no-speed-limits/

I checked the troubleshooting, everything is/was as described. I did not change any settings, but during the last days no speedlimits where shown on the display.

I use two iPhones. Today in the morning I switched beetween both devices some times. Without changin anything then the speed limit was on the display with both mobile phones. It had nothing to do with the current roads. I choose the same roads every day and normally there where speed limits displayed.

I have no idea what the problem can be.

I've been digging through the code. I can't see any direct codepath why CarPlay is not showing speed limits. I have tried also during a short car ride today, and I'm seeing speed limits on CarPlay like normal.

Having said that, I'm not ruling out there could be a bug, but I'm not sure where to investigate otherwise.

Four follow up questions that might help me narrow this down:

1) Do you see the speedometer on CarPlay? If so, what’s the color of the ‘arch’? Blue or Reg/Green?

2) Are you navigating or tracking on CarPlay, or just connect CarPlay and start riding? (I.e. you don't start navigation nor tap the "start" button)

3) Did you set the speed limit to always show, or only when speeding? Settings > Navigation & Tracking. If on "when speeding"... is it possible you just weren't speeding?

4) Is Scenic open or in the background on your iPhone when you start Scenic on CarPlay?

Then a question for everyone reading this: Is anyone else experiencing this? If so, do you have any additional information that might help me narrow this down?

I tried this today in the morning. The speed limit indiicator was there.

  1. The speedometer ist there. Everytime. Is it only the speedometer, the arch is blue. Together with the speed limit indicator the arch ist green or reed, it depentds on the speed.
  2. During the last rides I tried tracking and navigation. In both cases without speed limit. Normally the speed limit is/was there in all cases (navigation, traking, or just connect).
  3. The setting is switched to always shown.
  4. Usually I start Scenic via CarPlay. I will check the situation to start Scenic before connetion to CarPlay if it will not work the next time.

 

@Guido: if I am the only one with the "problem" you should not have not to much work with it. I will observe and report back if necessarry.

Thanks Martin. So, this morning you DID see the speed limit indicator? The arch colors you are describing is correct. Blue means that the speed limit is actually not known. Green means know and not speeding. Red means know and speeding.

Please me know how your other tests go. Thank you!

I'm not. But, sometimes the current speed limit isn't being displayed, then it does pop back up. I can only assume that it's map data that drives this and therefore, that data has been omitted for whatever reason.

At the moment everything works very well. Sometimes there is no speedlimit. As you describe the reason is, that no map data is available sometimes/somewhere. After a while the indicator came back itself.

The OSM data are not good sometimes I think. I am from germany. The speed limit indication sometimes does not make sense. Switch on and of without changeing the street/road. But it is not the problem of Scenic.

 

I am using Scenic for a long time. After a lot of problems last year the actual version works very well…

Thanks for reporting back Martin. Besides the speed limit data being spotty, there could be another reason why it's sometimes not showing the speed limit: Scenic needs to know on which road you are. It does this by feeding your current coordinate to the map data and finding the closest road. If it guesses wrong, for example if your raw, sometimes inaccurate, GPS coordinate shows that you are between two roads, it might think you are on the other, parallel road, and if that parallel road has unknown speed limit it will also show blue arch and no speed limit.

However, from my experience mostly this is actually because the speed limit it just now known. It's still on my list to enrich the speed limit data with another source, but that will take a while.
