Speed camera alert (UK/EU) which works with PCM?

[anonymouse]

Has any found a good speed camera alert system for UK/Europe which sits well in the Taycan ecosystem - for those of us who want to use the Porsche PCM as satnav?

I was using AmiGo (TomTom) in the background (using CarPlay) for alerts but they seem to have pushed an update which now "copies" the volume setting from the main PCM, instead of having its own setting. As a result, if I've got announcements turned off on the main satnav, as I always do, the speed camera alerts are also silenced, therefore useless.

I tried Flitsmeister which is popular in NL, but its UK coverage was less accurate that I'd like. Also I had all sorts of issues where the sound would not come out unless I was listening to music with CarPlay as the source.

I don't want to use Waze for privacy reasons, plus I want to use the Porsche satnav as my primary navigation.

Any other options I should consider please?

What are the privacy issues that affect users with Waze?

I love the fact that Waze users tell you when there is a mobile camera in place which has to be supported by lots of users feeding into the navigation system.

I hate the fact that planning an EV journey from within Waze is almost impossible - or at least for me it is.

I would love to have a system that would allow you to plan journeys with a break around 150 miles or so to charge up with fast chargers that also provides alerts to the presence of mobile speed cameras.

There is a standalone device called Blue Eye that will alert you to the presence of emergency vehicles including Police & Ambulances etc.

Finally, if Porsche are reading this, allow the use of other sat nav devices in the drivers display.

As of yesterday on my trip to Abingdon, Amigo was still working ok with PCM nav on silent and Amigo volume control via steering wheel in my J1.12 4S ST. Maybe the Amigo App hasn't updated on my phone. I''ll let you f it changes.

I use Waze in the background just for camera and other alerts but I use the PCM nav most of the time.
