 Watch out for the newest, undetectable police weapon against speeding, the mobile radar pidgeon!!

 

Explanation of available camera types in MIO / IGO:

Fixed camera

 

Mobile camera

 

Built in camera system

Section control camera

 

Red light camera

 

 

A fixed speedlimit camera on the side of a road, which controls traffic speed in one or sometimes both directions.

Operated from cars or mobile appliances, most of the time in a concealed spot. In Miomap, this so called speedtrap has no speedlimit warning. But when you add a speed limit for mobile camera manually, it will pop up a warning when you are over the speed limit.
 

 

Camera system built into a traffic light. Measures speed limit. 

 

 

A section control camera works with paired cameras. They measure the average speed of the route between the 2 cameras. Miomap displays the speed limit.

 

 

A Red light Camera detects driving through a red light. It is no speed detection device. Miomap does not display a speed limit.

 

  

 MioMap v3 speed cam update.
