Safety camera database for Garmin with all stationary speed and red light monitoring systems worldwide. At the moment, there are more than.
I have paid and downloaded the Garmin Safety Cameras onto my sat nav (Nuvi 1410). I have checked that it is on the sat nav and that the bleep tone is activated. But I have just driven through a safety camera zone and it didnt alert me.
Also I thought that i would be able to view the safety camera hot spots on the maps but it doesnt show anything. So what have I paid for then?? Should the safety camera zones be shown on the maps and why did it not bleep or alert me when I travelled on a road which is a safety camera hotspot. Does it just alert when there is an actual speed camera in operation as opposed to a stretch of road where a camera might be. Very confused and no info about it on the website.
So please help. I too subscribed to the speed camera alerts from garmin. Whilst the price was a mere 23euro for the year, with regular updates, all the speed alerts are incorrect. I am getting them in the correct positions, but given the wrong speed limits.eg when the speed limit is 100kmh, the alert is saying 161kmh.so im never getting a sound from the device because theyre all way too high. I have told Garmin and Cyclops about this problem and they say they are looking into it and a cure to rectify the problem, however this has been going on for months and still no cure.
My Garmin is the defunct nuvi860 model which is stuffed with features and is great.when it works.but thats another story! In short, dont bother subscribing to the speed alerts. Knoppix Boot Only Isohunt. Which brings me to a question.is there any way to remove it from the sat nav unit?anyone? At last someone else has the same issue, I have a Garmin Nuvi250W to which I subscribe to the safety camera alerts, like the previous poster Fonzie, i have contacted Garmin and Cyclops with pictures etc, paid to have the unit serviced (ie replaced by another refurbished unit) and wasted many hours updating and removing software. The Nuvi knows the exact location of all the safey camera areas however it never alerts with the ping and red band on top, all I get is the little camera logo in the top corner of the unit.
There is only one location in Ireland where the alert has worked properly and that is in Dublin off the M50 around the southern cross area on college park way and kilcross square. The alerts have not worked anywhere else between Cork, Dublin and Rosslare.
Ironically as soon as I get off the ferry in Fishguard it works perfectly, picking up all safety cameras, specs units etc and does not miss a beat, as soon as i return, it decides that the speed limit near Kilrane is in excess of 161kmh and then you get no audible alerts like you get in the UK. I shall be getting onto Garmin again, as they seemed to know nothing about my problem. To remove the subscription follow these instructions and stop when the software is removed (provided by Garmin support) If you have successfully installed the Cyclops Safety Camera region to your device but are failing to receive any proximity warnings, or if you are receiving any sort of error, you may need to remove and re-install the download.

Mac: Connect your GPS unit to a Mac via USB cable Open the Garmin drive on your desktop Double click the Garmin folder Double click the POI folder Delete the gpi file corresponding to your subscribed region Once the file has been deleted, the device will need to be run through WebUpdater to ensure that the latest software is installed on the device.

These are often confused for red light cameras and will not provide an alert. Thanks for that bit of advice Gift Grub. Only last night, i uninstalled the safety camera download, and then installed it again (it was due an update anyhow.) Hey presto, the speeds are now all warning correctly.i.e.
When in a 100kmh zone.its warning 100kmh safety camera zone- if im doing 101kmh, it sounds an alert. Before it was saying 161kmh for 100, 80kmh for 50 etc. So whilst that now works, it leaves me with another problem. Because my nuvi860 has an FM transmitter built in, going into a camera zone, causes the transmitter to switch on for a sound alert, which in turn causes the sat nav to freeze/crash.something the 800 series is notorious for i believe.i give up!! I have just bought a Garmin nuvi 1410 sat nav. The unit works fine but does not appear to be compatible with my phone, a 1 year old Samsung Wave. Both phone and sat nav pair no problem.
When I click 'phone' on sat nav it bypasses 'phonebook' and goes to 'points of interest' almost every time. I took the Garmin back to the shop but it worked fine with staff members phones. I contacted Garmin and Samsung, but neither were of any help. I tried a new Samsung in the Vodafone shop, same problem. A History Of Archaeological Thought Pdf To Jpg here. Can anybody with the same sat nav recommend a smartphone, preferably Samsung which will work with this sat nav, or suggest any way of overcoming the problem with my current phone? I have just bought a Garmin nuvi 1410 sat nav. I've an open complaint with Garmin over the 1490 not opening the phone book on the iPhone any model.
It will occasionally and especially after a firmware update and a full shut down of the phone and sat nav so they reboot together. But it does not stick. My other Garmin and Sony units don't have a problem so it's the 14xx series, google the problem and you'll find hundreds of complaints. Just to add to you story, you'll find the built in antenna lacking too and there is no socket for remote antenna.
Cheers Giftgrub. Yes i can disable the transmitter and that appears to cure the crashing problem, However the built in speaker is terrible and it is near impossible to hear a caller via the bluetooth.
Much better with the transmitter on. The only other way to stop the unit from freezing is to leave the mp3 player running - hence the transmitter stays on. Cant help anyone with the 14xx series.
I use a samsung phone with with my 860 and theyre extremely well behaved together - except there is no texting function. Other than that no problems.
Very strange these sat nav units.
