I assume the TFT pulls speed limit data from the Connected app, but I wonder where the app is getting the data..it is comical how wrong the information is. I am in the US and the speed limit that appears on the TFT is wrong more than it is right. Iit this bad in other parts of the world? |

Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #1 The app is getting the data from the maps it relies on. Same for the Garmin, TomTom, Waze and so on. So it's only as good as the map is updated. As stated above, you can't beat the front camera that is actually reading the signs on the road for you (personally tested on BMW, Ford, Peugeot so far).

It tends to show the same information as the Garmin in my region Czech Republic / Germany/ Austria |

I thought it would be the same map info as the Nav, Waze, etc but the info on the TFT often contradicts what I get from other devices. When they are different it is the TFT that is wrong. |

From my playing with the app at a BMW dealership, the app asks you to download map data for your state based on your location, but you can designate more states to download. I believe it’s more than just a POI database you get given the size...which seems consistent for “offline maps” apps. Maybe not as good as getting data from Google, but perhaps enough to get you where you want to go if there’s no network connection.
