Traffic alerts

[Davn]

Anyone know how to cancel a traffic alert when using AA

 

[NickHeynes]

Do you meant that the alert cuts in when you're listening to something on AA?

If you go to the radio section and select the little cog gear for settings, you can access the alerts from there.

Yes and No, when using AA for Google maps and listening to the radio, the cancel screen for alerts doesn't display if you press home, it's not there, the only way I've been able to get it to show is to pause the radio and then play again! Bit of a faf not to hear there's a lane closure on the M6 (when isn't there) but by the time you get back to the radio station the song or whatever has finished.

If you go to the radio section and select the little cog gear for settings, you can access the alerts from there.

I don't want to turn them off altogether just cancel the ones that don't apply to my journey

I'm not sure the radio will be able to determine your route!! lol

The only way to do that is to turn them off completely for the duration of your trip.
If you set a route, AA's satnav will automatically route you around anything that would affect you.

As above - using Waze through AA will be far better than listening to radio alerts IMHO.

Just another thing it can't/won't do

Never heard of it

Its a free app and works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It's a SatNav with live traffic rerouting but also users can upload live information such as traffic delays, accidents, bad potholes, police (inc. mobile speed vans), roadworks, vehicles stranded on the hard shoulder, etc, etc .... I think its a subsidiary company of Google.

Does it show charging locations on route?

Does it show charging locations on route?

They roll it out for the moment .....

 

[NickHeynes]

Yes charging locations are shown .
I was an early adopter of waze and it was great . Unfortunately, so many people have it now that it's not as effective at finding alternative routes as it once was as It guides every other driver onto the same alternative routes often only saving a couple of minutes .
In fact I've found that I'm often better off staying on my original route and letting the blockage clear. While everyone else takes the alternative which then get blocked itself!

I was a bit hazy about why AA was showing me alternatives that were longer than the designated route, but someone else said he often took these to have a quiet drive on a scenic route.

I wonder if they will come up with a "Avoid 20 mph route's" for the Welsh

Probably google are A/B testing routes and you're an unwitting test subject

 

[Rolfe]

I did have an occasion where AA sent me on a slightly different route through Carluke, marking my usual one as "5 minutes longer". I would have said the two routes were about even stevens, the one I usually take maybe a minute shorter. I decided AA probably knew something I didn't and took the alternative!
