Warnings & Alerts
DMD Next keeps an eye on the road for you — speed limits and cameras, your own speed thresholds, upcoming turns, weather and fire hazards along the route, and straying off a track. Each warning has its own alert types and outputs, so you decide how loudly it speaks up.

The Warnings Panel
Open Map Settings → Warnings to set up the four road warnings. Each one has its own on / off and its own outputs:
- Navigation — alerts when a turn instruction is announced.
- Speed Limit — alerts when you exceed the road's speed limit.
- User Speed Warnings — two custom speed thresholds, each with its own outputs.
- Speed Cameras — alerts when approaching a speed camera.
Speed Limit & User Speed
Speed Limit
When the map knows the road's limit, a speed-limit sign shows in the speedo area and your speed number turns orange as you near the limit and red once you're over it.
User Speed
Set two of your own speed thresholds — for example a comfortable cruising cap and a hard limit — each firing its own alert, independent of the posted limit.
Speed Cameras
As you approach a known speed camera, a blinking camera icon appears in the right of the speedo area with a distance countdown. Cameras can come from the map data and are also baked into some routes, so the alert works offline.
Route & Track Hazards
Weather Along Route
Check the forecast at points along an active route (Navigation Options → Weather Along Route) so bad weather doesn't catch you out.
Fire Alerts
DMD Next can flag active wildfire hazards near your route — useful adventure-riding awareness where fires are a risk.
Off-Track & Wrong-Direction
While following a GPX track, DMD Next warns if you drift off the line, ride it the wrong way, or come within range of a waypoint. Configure these in the GPX guide.
Other Alerts
Tyre Pressure (TPMS)
If you have DMD TPMS sensors paired, a low-pressure or deflation alarm surfaces right in the speedo area with the affected tyre's pressure — a mechanical-safety alert that takes priority over informational ones.
How Warnings Reach You
Every warning can use one or more outputs, so you tune how insistent each one is:
Speedo Area
Signs, camera countdowns and alert badges appear right in the speedo area, in your line of sight.
Screen Flash
An LED-style pulse across the speedo cavity flashes in the warning's colour — impossible to miss at a glance.
Voice
A spoken alert, so you can keep your eyes on the road. Balance it with your music in Settings → Audio.
