Camera alerts?

 

I downloaded and installed the red light and speed cameras from this website, now how do I know where they are when driving alog? I just drove out on our freeway where I know 2 different cameras are located. The speed is 65mph and you will get a ticket going 11mph over that so at 76mph you will get a ticket. I never went above 70mph approaching either camera and there was no indication they were even there? Setting somewhere?
Thanks, Gene

Set it up before you drive !

Friend there can be two possible situation.
1 ) The camera sight you are talking about may not be registered in current data. Open the .csv file of your downloaded data and search in that whether its register or not. If yes then you are good to go. If not thne please report it to Miss POI so she can update the data.
2) you have to manually set the alert on you GPS device. For my Garmin 255WT what I do is when I load red light camera or speed camera data to the device via POI loader I go thorough manual alert mode. Here I set alert at 2000feet for RED Light Camera and particular speed limit for Speed camera. Lets say 60mph. So here is how it works. When i approach the intersection with RED light camera, my device warns me before 2000 feet at regardless of at what speed I am going. Device also warns me from the Speed Camera alert only when I cross the speed I have set for alert. That is 60mph. So if i am driving @ 60mph device will not warn me. but as soon as I gear up to 65 device will warn me to slow down.
If you set the distance alert for Speed camera instead of speed alert, It will warn you at the particular mentioned distance regardless of what ever the speed you are driving at. But it may some time distract you so better to set it on the speed alert for Speed camera and Distance alert for RED light camera.
Hope this was helpful.

Camara may not be in the database

Somebody beat me to it with a better explanation

Thanks for that explanation,

Thanks for that explanation, I think I messed up, but I needed that info anyway. I purchased 2 of the 255WT units, one for me and one for my son and I loaded his with the cameras and forgot to load mine! The one I checked on the road was of course mine without the camera download, duh!*#!

Great
