You have quoted my post, but it was not me who saw the swiss video.
But It may help some who ,like me, have no experience of road alerts , if I give more detail of what the satnav was able to do in Germany.
1) I got a visual and voice alert of a hazard/crash about 8 km ahead, and warned there where pedestrians on the motorway. It told me the tailback was 1km but I was still on the fastest route and didnt need to be diverted. The road had cleared before I got there.
2) another time it warned there were animals on the motorway 20 km ahead. It showed a cow sign.
I did see one small deer eating grass about 50 metres from the road, that might have been on the wrong side of the deer fence, so could potentially have been a danger. But this is a perpetual possibility. I had been expecting something unusual such as cows, sheep,horses etc. .
3) It did warn of the motorway closed ahead and scheduled in a diversion. I think it was a pre planned weekend closure, but the diversion, along country roads did not have diversion signs. It was reassuring to have the route highlighted.
4) there were a few other warnings of 'hazardous driving conditions', and delays ahead, but did not offer any alternative. There probably wasnt one. One of these vague warnings did actually develop into quite a long delay ,but it offered no alternative possibly because it was on the border of Germany and Austria .I worked a diversion out for my self.
5) Roadworks /contraflows and road closures were often clearly highlighted on the map with bold red and white stripes. (but no actual alert.) Not seen that in the UK but maybe I dont get about enough .
Overall I found there were quite a few vague warnings of hazards and delays ,,and I had to decide for myself whether say a 1km tailback ,which might never materialise, or might now be longer ,was worth diverting for. In the end I started ignoring many of them, assuming anything major would trigger an automatic re route.
I dont think I would pay a subscription to continue receiving them. I'd rather spend the money on mobile data for an alternative.
