(D)Riding modus without A to B route
-
Is it possible to integrate a (d)riding modus which shows actual riding speed and active speed limit for current location, without having chosen a A -> B route?
Maybe something to integrate in the base/starting screen of the app?

This has been requested and is on the list but I don’t think it is currently a Priority item.

Very close to your phone or Nav-display you have the Speedometer from your Bike.Speed data on Sat system are very very often wrong.
From this July on new selled Cars a warning system is obligatory.
Fun fact, they are as well not reliable.
I have such system a combination of Database by Map provider and camera recognition now since 1,5 years.My real fact having often, there is no limit, my car map datas presents 100 km/h and my phone with Google says 80. And Now?
Open your eyes, look on signs and your speedometer is my and the best recommendation after now about several years with Nav data and the last about 1,5 years with car integrated speed warning.

@Peter-Schiefer, Speed indication from GPS is actually very precise. It is just lagging behind a bit. So while accelerating or decelerating it is not reliable, but while driving more or less steady speeds it is much more accurate then any speedometer on a car or bike, which often have a lower margin of about 5% and depend on the wear of your tyres.
You can discuss the necessity indeed, but if you do you can also discuss the necessity of the same thing while navigating. It is handy to have an indication of allowed speed, and current speed in the same glance, either navigating a route or not. Fact is that many users seem to fancy a "free driving mode". It has been requested a lot.

@Steve-Lynch Thanks for pointing it out to me and understandable it's not prio!
@Peter-Schiefer True! Good vision.

@Con-Hennekens Con it is not the question of accuracy of GPS speed measurment, it is the question of Accuracy of the data present on Nav system regard the limits. And this is a nightmare.
Last two weeks I was on a holiday session in Austria and on contray roads in the southern bavaria.
As a more ore less „ professionell“ Driver with the last 12 years driving on my job I got a „trained“ view on road signs and the experience with map data and the last sign recognition by cameras.
Is is a nightmare in bothe ways. Settting sign with speed limits and the car detection systems.
I can only say actually automotive driving where drivers dont need to look on the road, and spped will be controlled by data and cameras will be a desaster. I can fill books of discrepancies I found.And by the way, those who do not accept the limits won‘t do this with such warnings, as long as by requirements speed limiters in the car will control the speed in general, not only by Cruise control systems as I have it got in trouble with the data and camera recognition.
And 3 % less on the speedometer of cars and bikes by regulations, at 100, is this a tragic. For a Kilometer at 100 you need 36 seconds. Your loss in time assumed you drive exactly 97 instead of 100 on 100 kilometer distance is about 110 seconds. Less than 2 Minutes. For a ride from Cologne to Munich about 10 Minutes.

@Peter-Schiefer, Camera recognition has completely zero to do with GPS accuracy of course, but your comment on the GPS data itself is correct. However, because the speed calculation from GPS data is an average over many measurements with the deviations going all ways, in the end it is a very accurate number because the deviations even themselves out. But let's stay on topic from here.

@Con-Hennekens
Con it was you who changed the topic, the accuracy of speedlimit datas in maps to the accuracy of actual speed by GPS presented in parallel.
The tread starter wants both while not using the routing and my answer was ragard the wrong datas in the map. -
@Peter-Schiefer said in (D)Riding modus without A to B route:
Speed data on Sat system are very very often wrong.
I interpreted this as a claim that GPS speed measurement is not accurate. Therefore I felt the need to correct that. Maybe I was misinterpreting?
