I've done this for years now too. I set my cruise control based on GPS speed, not speedometer. On the X-Trail it's 139kph for 125kph on the GPS.

I've not received any fines for many years, generally doing a 130km/h are we even certain these guys still trap people? But as I said my car does beep at me when speeding, as it's GPS linked

ok, my wife got one. Ignored the waze speeding limit and that mobile camera was up ahead. 100km/h in 80km/h zone. R500 fine and if paid within 30 days , half price. have to say it was rather efficient and could pay on bank the next day!

It is only excused here because Apple Maps can't compete with Google Maps in South Africa...tread carefullyI thought it was tantamount to heresy to use Google maps on iOS?

Drive around the South cape.
Many, many many speed traps and speed cops, and frequent speed changes.
They like the 80 80 60 trap 80 60 trap 80 they get you used to driving 80, and if you miss the 60 sign they have you.
They also love the one leaving town where it’s 60 60 80 trap 100 120, and the reverse when entering so they can nab you when accelerating and decelerating.

How so?
I only use Apple Maps, as per another thread somewhere recently it's far superior to Google Maps, even in SA.

In cities yeah, but heading off of main roads Google Maps is better in my experience.

Anyone using TomTom on Apple CarPlay? Looks like it’s R372 a year for a subscription. Slightly off topic, but I use TomTom Premium in car with built in SatNav in UK, it came with vehicle and is free for me until 2027. Overall very good, I have found traffic works better than...

That's because AppleMaps' data is woefully out of date, even here in the US.

When last and how often have you actually tried it?

About a week ago, I don't try it often because i end up getting frustrated with it and move on over to google maps.
Do you have any luck yet?
Another iOS update, another Google Maps update and I still have nothing.
Does rollout to all users worldwide really take this long?

Tried it this morning after the update last night. Still nothing on my side.
Nothing here yet. I just checked, I am on version 6.127.2, which was published 13 hours ago.
