Traffic sign recognication
I have the same issue. I opted for Traffic Sign Recognition to be included in the spec for my Superb SEL (MkIII) and it's on the spec sheet that came with the car, as "Traffic Sign recognition with Multifunction Camera". However, I'm quite certain now that the speed limits displayed on the Maxidot are coming from the SatNav database not the camera. Coming up the A1/M in snow today the motorway signs were displaying 60 as the limit but Maxidot and SatNav stuck resolutely to 70. I've also been through fresh roadworks recently with clear 50 signs and Maxidot still showing 70. When the speed limit changes the display changes a couple of seconds later suggesting again that it's coming from the database. My wife Toyota Yaris with TSR changes immediately and works very well with very few mistakes. I too sometimes have 110 displayed in a 70 zone. It always happens in the same location which would suggest it's a database error rather than a camera misread. My conclusion is that camera TSR is not being used at all. My question is the same as yours. Is this a malfunction (ie take to dealer) or something I've not set right in some menu? Under Assistants I have it listed as Dynamic Road Sign Display. I have Show In Instrument Cluster selected and I have a visual warning set for a 5 mph over speed. Any advice or experience with TSR appreciated. Thanks. M

Probably. I suspect it would probably do that for the Home address and for any Favourites in the database.

That's brilliant Jelugs! Thank you very much for posting. I've just had a look but as I'm parked outside my home it, naturally, just shows me my address but if I wasn't I'd be getting the coordinates! Good find. Hope you have a good Christmas in spite of the circumstances! M

Cheers Stewart. The C type USB socket is the only way the Amundsen recognises Android Auto although I can play media files off the other USB A sockets. Would be an interesting hack if we could import POIs via the USB C socket.

Agree with CJJE. You have two modes of entry. 1. You start typing in the generic field, either the name of the place, the post code or GPS coordinates and possibilities appear below the entry box. You can touch to select and your choice appears on the map. If you then select "MORE" you get the option to name the location and by touching the open yellow star you can save it to Favourites (the star then goes solid yellow). If the system identifies the location as off road then it doesn't give you an actual address, just coordinates. But by selecting "MORE" you should be able to give it a name yourself and it should hopefully appear in the recent destinations list as something you can easily recognise. 2. You can click what looks like an envelope with a marker over it, just to the right of the generic entry field. This then opens a screen where you can generate the address from scratch ie country, city, street etc. Agree it's not the most intuitive SatNav unfortunately, although it functions well enough once you do pick a destination and get underway. The other issue is because updates are done via an built in SIM card (rather than using an SD card/slot) there is no way I know of to input your own set of POIs such as Speed Cameras. One work around is to use an app like Waze on your phone and connect it to the Amundsen Infotainment system via Android Auto. Select APP (second button down under NAV) and it appears on the Amundsen screen. It's quite useable.

Will do likewise when I get a moment. Karoq's got some super reviews! M

Thanks for that J Yes, love the car. My first Skoda too and in Business Grey . A bit of a jump in technology from my 2003 Avensis ! Business Grey is quite a smart colour in spite of the name. Just wondered if there was a simple straightforward way to read the GPS coordinates of one's current position off the Amundsen SatNav. Could be useful. Cheers. Have a good weekend.

Ah! That might be it then! I'll try with the comma. Thanks. It is quite useful to be able to input GPS coordinates. Post Codes, especially in out of the way places, can be quite haphazard. Much obliged for your help.

I've got the Amundsen MIB 3 Infotainment. It took me a while to figure this one out. First of all it's not immediately obvious that the navigation search box (as described by Jelugs above) accepts GPS coordinates at all. Never mind, just go ahead and type in the coordinates, in Decimal Degree format. HOWEVER, I discovered that if I didn't input the coordinates to SIX decimal places it gave me strange results eg. location in the North Sea! No idea why. Google gives you the coordinates to FIVE decimal places when you right click a point on Google Maps. You've got two options. One is to just add a zero to the end of each coordinate (so instead of typing 53.81346 you type 53.813460) enter a space then enter the East/West coordinate in the same way, to SIX decimal places. Alternatively, you can click on the coordinates when Google shows them in the drop down box and they're automatically copied to Clipboard. You can then paste them into a text app and you'll see the coordinates displayed to FOURTEEN decimal places!! Round down to SIX.

A few days with a Facelift
New to Skoda. Had my Superb 2 weeks now. Technology shock from my 2003 Reg Toyota! Adaptive lights are, for me, the single most useful tech improvement. Stick them on auto and the result is amazing, on straight road and corners. Infotainment has an eSIM which apparently updates maps etc automatically. Do people here know if this precludes any possibility of uploading extra POIs such as camera locations?
