So this popped up in the display this evening while on the M4...

Never ceases to amaze me this little pocket rocket -
Anybody had anything similar or interesting??

Haha, sometimes you will get accident ahead flash up also!

It's like K.I.T.T -

I read that display back in my head in a KITT voice and it truly is KITT.

On the M5 once, I was informed that there was a car on fire ahead. A few minutes later there was a bemused looking owner stood up wind of what started the journey as a non-fire damaged car. I had the mixed emotions of sympathy for the other guy and 'wow', cool warning!

Waze also does this, for free

Assume you have the speed limit warning thingy that reads upcoming signs?

We had a snow warning on the M62 towards Leeds last winter that was a bit out of the blue like this.

I had a safety message come through the other day about strong cross winds when approaching a certain section of the M5.

I use WAZE in preference to my Pro Media Nav thing.

A couple of weeks ago, I had "Dangerous traffic situation!" come up - I kept clearing it by hitting the button on the stalk, and it kept coming back every few seconds; it was quite insistent! There was a hazard symbol on the nav map at a roundabout a few miles ahead which was clearly the situation it was talking about (as the message finally vanished once I'd gone past it) but I could see no sign of any dangerous situation when I got there, so I've still got no idea what it was talking about. To be honest, it got quite annoying as while the message was displayed, I couldn't see the clock...

I've never had anything like this. Is it something I need to turn on?

Doesn't seem to be - just every now and then, the Pro Nav pops up an odd message with a exclamation mark. I'm assuming it is associated with the real-time traffic information, so if you have that working, this is probably also enabled. (It's nothing to do with the speed limit display, as I don't have that.)

The message last week was the first I've had in 9 months of owning the car (7500 miles covered), so it's not that common an occurrence.
