Background
Driving route with driving speed was the third mapping option I developed. I was starting
to look at maps, where mobile speed cameras are located and to see if there was a correlation,
it turns out there was for the one near where I live. It really is interesting to see what you learn
about your own driving behaviour when you see it mapped. For instance I typically drive considerably
below the speed limit and that was unexpected.
Using Real-time drive
Real-time drive starts and displays the latest real-time drive.
Select a Real-time drive from
the list and click Show Real-time drive to show the route for the Real-time drive.
The read-time drive is centred on the map. Zoom in and out to see the level of detail you require.
After selecting a Real-time drive and clicking Show Real-time drive a link to the Real-time drive video will appear
below the map. Click on the link to watch the video in YouTube if a video is available.
The multi-coloured line is the real-time drive route with the following colours
representing the driving speed.
—— Up to 40 km/h
—— Greater than 40 to 50 km/h
—— Greater than 50 to 60 km/h
—— Greater than 60 to 70 km/h
—— Greater than 70 to 80 km/h
—— Greater than 80 to 90 km/h
—— Greater than 90 to 100 km/h
—— Greater than 100 km/h

Click/press on the Real-time drive route and the video start time will change to near where you've pressed.
Also displayed is the distance from the start of the drive and the speed driven where you clicked.

If you've been watching the video of a Real-time drive and would like to check the location, note the time on the video and then
click on the Real-time drive route until the video start time is near the time in the video.

NOTE: YouTube often starts videos on a lower quality a then adjusts. To get around this perhaps start the video
around a minute before the section you're interested in. Rewind if necessary.
