Redlight Camera Alert

 

On my 660 when I would come near a Redlight Camera I would get a alert that would repeat about 3 or 4 times. On my 885T it sounds off once and thats it. Is there anything I can do to make it repeat like my 660 ?

Different Strokes...

I don't think there is a setting that controls that.

Its funny, my 660 behaves the same way - multiple audio alerts. But my preference is the opposite from yours. I wish it would play once and then SHUT UP! To me it becomes annoying. "I heard you the first time."

As I said... different strokes... smile

Don't we all want something

Don't we all want something we don't have? I want that feature but my 760 doesn't support it. I saw my friend's 200 series (I can't remember which model exactly). There's an option to toggle 'continuous alert' on/off. I like that feature.

If you want continuous alert like the 660 for 885t.Go to where to,tools,settings,proximity settings,touch change under proximity alerts.You will see audio now at bottom of the screen touch that and you will see single tone or continuous tone.Put mark in continuous tone.

Like Gary the repeated alert gets annoying after a while.I prefer the single tone myself.

Single Tone

On my 660, setting it to single tone does not stop the custom audio alerts from repeating. Been there, done that... mrgreen

It works on my 265 and other

It works on my 265 and other models that I have seen members post on.Not sure why.I have mine set on single tone all the way back from Fl to Va and it worked.The 340 no matter how you set it it alerted continuous.

Found Adjustment

I found the setting, thanks

Wouldn't a single red light alert sometimes be missed?

I like my 265WT having multiple alerts because occasionally the direction notification ("Turn right...) steps on, and stops, the custom red light notification. Is a single alert guaranteed to happen?

Single tone!!

Mine is the same on single tone alert! Drives me crazy sometimes.

It had gotten so annoying, that the only audio alert file I load now is for the highway rest areas. Even then, I have reduced the alert distance from 2 miles to 1 mile - less time for the alert to play. Even at that, it repeats 2 or 3 times. Then, you add in the number of "false" alerts from rest areas on the opposite side of the highway that are still close enough to trigger an alert... confused
