Warning when approaching a POI
Quote from Martin46 on 09.03.2025, 08:22Hi Guido,
Firstly I must commend you on the Scenic app improvements, I’ve been using it daily and am suitably impressed.
A feature request that I would gratefully welcome would be a “warning” when approaching a POI.
For example, I have a POI library of mobile speed camera sites in the UK, I have uploaded them into Scenic and assigned images for them - great that I can do that. However if I’m not looking at my navigation unit I sometimes miss the POI’s.
would it be possible to have a warning Sound (a bleep or similar) that sounds as I approach it ? It could be as simple as a tick box item within the POI screen where you can set them to appear.Hopefully you could implement this.
kind regards,
martin.

First, I'm going to add back the built-in speed cameras that Scenic 3 had. That will already solve the most important use-case for POI proximity alerts.

I'd like to bring this one up again. The option to get an acoustic warning when approaching an user-created POI always came in quite handy when it was still available in older versions. It is not exclusively about speed cameras, but also about landmarks, gas stations, restaurants I approach and do not want to miss on a longer tour. I remember to have used that feature on almost every ride when it was still available in the older versions of scenic, not only when following a pre-planned tour but also when just recording the ride (and yes, this one is about speed cams...;.).
Thanks and cheers
Peter
