Hi, I was wondering is there any indication in either the red light or speed camera POI files to tell which street the camera is on if it is at an intersection or give some sort of indication of direction of the street?

Thanks

In the POI Factory files, I

In the POI Factory files, I do not believe there is. Unless it's one of the values I don't quite understand, but functionally, I do not see that information.

We went through this before. It's too much work, and if the Camera is placed right it could be twisted to do another direction, and then someone would blame us for the ticket.
Also, how do you know there's a Camera in there? Ive seen them remove them. They are expensive and i would bet you there are more Camera posts than Cameras in your city. Slow down or don't try to beat the light....minor detail.

Which way do camera's point

Actually, Garmin has the ability to designate if the camera is pointing East, West, etc. And they would sell POI Factory that functionality, but it is too expensive and not worth it.

As other have posted, no,

As other have posted, no, POI Factory's warnings give no indication of which direction the camera is facing in the intersection. At one time in the past, there was a discussion of the possibility of adding that info into the file. Nothing came of it, it was either too much work, too much money, or a combination?

In any case, I would have liked the file to have it but the files are great even without it.
