I haven't gotten the files yet but have a question. Do they give general area or actual direction you are traveling? I heard only area and false alarms. Thanks
Red Light Camera Alert
They give a proximity alert when you get close to the point of interest, so they work in all directions. Certain intersections may have cameras in only one direction but you get an alert in all directions.

Welcome
Welcome to the site.
There is a "Learn" button in the upper right of this page next to "red light cameras" that takes you to a Getting Started page. It is worthwhile visiting this page.
To make navigation easy, most browsers provide the following option. When you want to follow a link - but still keep your current page open - you can hold down the "Ctrl" key as you left-click on a link. That action will open a new "Tab" in your browser up on the "Tab" bar. When you then left-click on that new "Tab", you will follow the link - leaving the "Tab" you are now reading open and available to click on and return here.
So, using the "Learn" link, you might try the "Ctrl" - left-click sequence and then return here. You can return by either "X-ing" out of the "Getting Started" page (using the "X" on the "Tab" itself) or just left-clicking on the "Tab" for the page you are on right now.
Since you are new here, I encourage you to go through a couple of the Tutorials.
The first link makes sure the settings on your computer are such that you can do more advanced POI loading.

The next link helps you make a backup of your GPS by attaching it to your computer. (NEVER do anything to your GPS until you have a backup). It also assures that you put your (newer) unit into a state where you can see all of the folders there.

False alerts are very rare.
You might get one if the RLC intersections are to close and you aren't on that road. Also if you are on an upper level road and there is a RLC below you you might get an alert.
We do a pretty good job of weeding out alerts for intersections where there is no camera. We rely on the people using the file to let the moderator's (Angela) know of changes. There is a link at the top for red light cameras.
