Anyone travelling North OR South on I5 BE AWARE
WEED, CA. is a real speed trap location. First they lowered the speed limit in their area from 70 to 65mph & they enforce it.
Got me @ 74MPH & cost well over $100.00
If anyone knows how put it into a POI
Thanks

Was it automated, or did a cop get you there?
The poi files only have photo enforcement. Not speed traps.
FWIW I think speed traps per-se are illegal in California.

I think you're nearly right. Some moving violations are in the $270 range.
California has penalty assessments and ridiculous court fees that make the fines pretty crazy.
I think that is at least $130, so the OP's statement about it being $100 doesn't seem to hold water.

If I understand the OP it was a speed trap, with a live cop to cite violators.
Nothing that could be put in any poi file, as far as I can tell.
Unless I misunderstood, that is.
Speed Traps
I believe there is a category named Speed Traps where police cars frequently are positioned to cite speeders. You do have to supply a set of coordinates for the site, if it is fixed in location. If you were caught by a traveling police car, that can't be coded as a POI.

P.S. Remind me nevere to visit CA
How about
A list of locations. (towns or cities) that are speed traps? New Llano LA and Florien LA both made national news as speed traps.
.
See http://www.speedtrap.org/speed-traps/find/
Nuvi 660 -- and not upgrading it or maps until Garmin fixes long-standing bugs/problems, and get maps to where they are much more current, AND corrected on a more timely basis when advised of mistakes.

Very handy link, granted I always TRY not to speed, but I'm not perfect.
