Qashqai Model: Mk.3 Qashqai - J12 (2021+) New Model

Post by Edlamp »

Today I picked up my new 2021 Qasahqai and expected to have speed camera notifcations on the Satnav like I had on my last 65 plate model.

Are these not avalable now?

I did a search but cant' find anything about how to download them if they are available.

Thank Ed.

Welcome to the forum.

I’m pretty sure this facility was deleted in 2016, or thereabouts.
My 64 plate Juke had speed camera warnings but my 17 plate QQ didn’t.
It’s allegedly something to do with this being against the law in France, therefore all European Nissan SatNavs had this removed

Welcome to the forum, @Edlamp

I haven’t used the in-built SatNav yet as I am using Apple CarPlay, which features traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and speed camera alerts.

If you have an iPhone and your Qashqai has Apple CarPlay, Siri announces, loud and clear, that you’re approaching a speed camera, the distance to it and also the speed associated with that camera (it’s also displayed on the Nissan Connect screen). Maybe Google Maps and Waze offer something similar?

I will investigate whether you can get speed camera alerts with the in-built mapping software when I get time.

I'd be interested to hear your findings...if this is missing as well as the map on the driver display (without a destination set) I'm going to be doubley miffed.

AFAIK Nissan have never supplied SpeedCam data within the Nav system. Only a facility for user loaded POIs which are Lat/Long positional.

Since about 2019 I don't think the Nav unit can accept POIs as above. All such data is now handled by Smart phones that connect to the headunit.

FREE? They are csv files (Lat/Long POIs) that are probably out of date or inaccurate. Likely grabbed from https://www.pocketgpsworld.com/ at some point. Thats a subscription site.

Also, it appears that France has banned use of such Camera data (csv) in vehicles. They probably like to wave their handguns around as well

To help everyone here and to avoid confusion the OP was asking about the new J12 model. Aspects from J11 may or may not be relevant.

If anyone with a J12 can help the OP and me that would be appreciated
