2597 Question

 

Do the POI for red light / speed cameras work on this model? I had been considering purchasing from Garmin but found out that the newer models are not compatible. Thanks.

Garmin or Factory?

Are you referring to the Garmin (free trial or subscription) Safety Camera files sometimes called the Cyclops files or are you referring to the Speed and Redlight Cameras Custom POI files available here at The POI Factory?

The POI Factory files will work with your nuvi 2597 and can also be futher customized to add icons and audio alerts.

Thanks. it is the Cyclops

Thanks. it is the Cyclops files which I was told are not compatible. That's why i wanted to confirm about the POI files here.

I was supprised that they didn't list the 2597 https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/digital-... . Another change I guess for the newer models. But I prefer the ones on POI Factory since they are updated weekly.

It is odd and has come up at least a couple of times in the past regarding the newer nuvi models in Model Years 2013-2014:
