Map Speed Indicator

[grahamoz]

Hi, I am new to this forum.
I have searched around here and can't find a related question. But lots of talk about the R Link maps not being very good and poor support.
I have a 2020 Kadjar and I have updated the maps once. As previously discussed the new maps are still old and out-of-date.

Anyway - during a service in September that applied a software update. Now the maps don't display the current speed limit indicator. And I am unable to turn on the speed alerts.

Any clues?

Thank you.

If you mean icon P
Try a factory reset, then find Navigation Settings, Visual Guidance, Signposts.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. Yes, it is the P item shown in this information. I have a different model of R Link with the landscape view.
I have found and checked the Signposts setting and it is on. I haven't tried the factory reset yet as I want to note all the current settings.

The wording "Whenever relevant information is available, such as information similar to that displayed on road signs" has me guessing your current version of maps doesn't contain any Speed Limits information.

Make a note of all the version numbers in System-System Information and then see what's available at what price from Renault
This page has a link to the pdf with instructions on "Updating the R-Link 2 system and the maps" and saving your current settings.

Also see what's available free from the gps-rlink website.

I wonder if these are two seperate things?
Maybe the camera for the speed alert isn't enabled?

I think this was disabled just after we bought the car. The speed sign was displayed in the dash when we did the test drive. Good feature I thought.
After buying it they did an update and it was gone. The excuse was Australian regulations. ???

You know we are being short changed by all the French car importers by the supply of sh*t GPS software and also being charged for SH*T updates that are no better. In this day and age we should do a class action under "unfit for purpose" !!
It would take a smart teckie a couple of hours to sort a solution that might keep us punters happy even if not even 100% It just shows that they do not care about us punter out here !

Seems to be same story for a 2022 Koleos in this post.

Hi everyone, please, anyone able to help me understand if the 'the overspeed alert with signage panel recognition' feature installed in this model actually works? I can turn it on on the settings but then it turns off itself with no reason after a couple of seconds. 3 visits later - at Renault...

Seems to me like the update in September deleted your subscription to show speed signs on the navigation system map.
I'd be ringing Renault and demanding the subscription be reinstated in lieu of the disabled camera.

Good point re class action, quite feasible considering the Renault Australia website advertises the current Megane, and Kaptur, having traffic sign recognition camera.
