Hi morco, would it be possible to modify this great UX utility for the Andoid system?

Hi monky

I am of the understanding that Igo Nextgen can display traffic lights from data contained within the map files where as Igo Primo can not.

It might be of benefit to modify the UX for Nextgen so as to add an 'alert' for when approaching traffic lights but I'm not looking to do this at the moment.


So with that in mind, here is my Traffic Lights UX, modified for use with Igo Primo android

compatible with display-landscape
width 1024 to 1280 px
Height 552 to 800 px

compatible with display-Portrait
width 600 to 800 px
Height 960 to 1280 px

Country data is still required.

:)

Hi Morco!
You don't have a recent list? I know it did not to much change to since then. I am thanks for the Hungarian list!
You are the Greatest!
:beer: for You! I'm sorry you have exited out of the EU

@ Jasz

Hi morco! One more request. Can you give me updated Austrian lamps? I just want to get there.
Thanks: Jasz
P.S. Something else came to my mind. You driving on the left side of the driveway. Do you have an app that knows this?We are used the left government leadership.. How is it? Help me.

Updated traffic light data for Austria can be found here [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] (post #11)


info in map data provides Nextgen or Primo which side you should be driving on ;)

Below is a basic version of my 'UX' for Nextgen (not Luna)

A replacement for original speedcam.zip UX




Has only been tested on emulator with a gps track simulator


No sys.txt entry = usual beep alerts

sys.txt entry below should give spoken alerts

Spoiler: sys.txt entry

Code:

---

[warning]
speedcam_enabled=1
speedcam_warning=1

is_spoken=1

[speedcam_category:30]
activated_spoken_type=speech
activated_speech="Traffic Lights"

approach_beep_distances=150
approach_beep_spoken_type=speech
approach_beep_speech="Traffic Lights"

min_frc=-5
use_road_speedlimit=0

---

( tested using the standard google text to speech (speech services)installed and unisex 'tts' voice within Nextgen)

Creating the traffic light data file is quite time consuming, there are probably better ways to do it but I haven't had the time to find out.

For those who would like to do it themselves so i don't have to , here is my method.

This method could also be used for creating other alerts or POI's using data from Open Street Map by changing the 'query'



Create your own traffic light data from Open Street Map.

Spoiler: Required

1/ Overpass Turbo (website) [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

2/ KML Merger (website) [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

3/ ITN Converter (software) [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

4/ Microsoft Excel (software)

Spoiler: Overpass Turbo

Overpass Turbo can not extract a whole country in one go so ,with the help of Wikipedia, you will need to break down the Country in to administrative divisions, States or districts.

Watch out for areas that have the same name as the capital city.
A further search for the area names around the city will be needed to get all the data for that area.



1/ open overpass turbo

2/ Replace all the code in the left hand panel with this code below

Code:

---

[out:json];
{{geocodeArea:REPLACE THIS TEXT WITH THE AREA NAME}}->.searchArea;
(node[highway=traffic_signals](area.searchArea);
>;
way[highway=traffic_signals](area.searchArea);
>;
relation[highway=traffic_signals](area.searchArea);
>;
);
out;

---

3/ In the code, replace all the words in capitals (REPLACE THIS TEXT WITH THE AREA NAME) with the area name & run. when complete, export the data as a kml file

Spoiler: kml Merger

1/ upload kml files

2/ download merged kml file

Spoiler: ITN Converter

1/ open merged kml file, be patient as it can take a while to load.

2/ export as CSV(*csv)

2a/ settings , latitude column 02, longitude column 01. nothing else is required.

Spoiler: Microsoft Excel

1/ open csv file

2/ add category 30, type 30 in the first box of column C, 'click & hold' the bottom right hand corner of the box (see picture 1).
drag the box down unil you reach the last line of the coordinates, then release your mouse button. The column should then be '30' all the way down. (see picture 2)

3/ repeat the procedure for column D,E & F, using 0

4/ rename line 1 to read X,Y,TYPE,SPEED,DIRTYPE,DIRECTION (see picture 3)

5/ save file as csv.

Spoiler: On computer

1/ Find the folder where you saved your csv file, make sure you have filename extensions 'ticked' in folder view .


2/ Rename the extension from .csv to .txt, (ignore warnings).

Job done :)

Can you upgrade Slovakia traffic light (800_480)?

Sorry to bother you again. Is this the method, where I can find other speedcams too? The current one is working well.
