Drove on M62 to Leeds this afternoon, pouring with rain- everything fine. About four hours later driving back, still pouring with rain, lots of traffic, car going like a dream.Flash drive playingsoftly in the background, sat nav working fine, wipers going medium speed, heating on about 19C.Then about half way home there are suddenly three fairly quiet beeps. I look at the dashboard to see if any warning lights on - nothing. I get hubby to look at his mobile in case it was battery charge problem or some such thing. Before he has time to check there are another three beeps. I slow down, again check dashboard, look at the options on message board - and then there are another three beeps. Can't find anything wrong with anything so put my foot on and get home. No more beeps. Check car when got home but it all looks fine.Any ideas anyone?

it could be, and im not saying it defo is, but sometimes the sat nav beeps to warn of speed camera's in the area VBL. if nothing indicated on the dashboard i would look for the simplist solution and it might be this

Its the speed camera warning its counts down two beeps four times till it passes the camera the volume depends on the volume set in the setting navigation .You can turn this off in warnings navigation,you can have your speed warning beeps when you exceed speed limits and thiscan be turned off if required.Occasionally when you pass through a junction on a main road it beeps because there is a speed camera close by.
I have my speed cameras warning on all the time, I did have the speed limit warning on but this has a software fault because if you are going to fast before you come to a speed limit sign its like a fire engine bell going of in the car because it beeps once for every mile an hour over the limit, hope this helps you.
If you have yours maps on its shows a speed camera symbol in the left middle of the screen which disappears after you have passed the speed camera.
The beep depends on what satnav system you have Rlink or Mednav
