The difference between the iTruck speedcam and the Truck speedcam lies in the source of the speed data to which the navigation program responds. This is a hybrid version created by enthusiasts for iGO NextGen to address the shortcomings of the standard handling of speed limits for trucks.
Speedcam Truck (standard version)
Map dependency: This version relies entirely on speed data stored in maps (HERE, TomTom).
Issues:
Incorrect alerts: If there is no speed information in the map for the section of road where the camera is located, no alert will be issued. For example, if a truck leaves a highway with a 90 km/h speed limit and enters a built-up area with a 60 km/h speed limit, iGO will continue to display 90 km/h until the vehicle enters the section with the new speed limit.
Map errors: Maps may contain inaccurate speed data for trucks, resulting in incorrect alerts. Result: Less accurate speed limit information, especially when limits change frequently.
Speedcam iTruck (Hybrid Version)
Data Sources: This version uses a hybrid approach:
50% from the Speedcam database: Speed limit data is taken from the database itself (OSC).
50% from maps (HERE/TomTom): Speed limit data is taken from maps, as in the standard version.
Problem Solving:
Accuracy: iTruck displays speed limits more accurately because it uses two sources simultaneously. If information from one source is missing or incorrect, the second source can supplement or correct it.
Dynamism: Data blending solves the problem of inaccurate speed display when changing road sections with different limits.
Result: A more accurate and reliable warning system for truck drivers.
