Your understanding of how drivers alerts are SUPPOSED to work is the same as mine. The issue being discussed here is that on several different android devices using different programme versions, the "fixed" warning point is some 50 metres past the actual hazard regardless of direction of travel.
This delay does not seem to occur on WinCE.
We would be intertested to know what OS and programme version you are using and whether it shows the same error.
