Redlight Older Garmin Nuvi 1350T

 

I needed to create a custom POI and I need the red warning to indicate when arriving 1/2 mile from the location.

I created a file called;
Home_Redlight.csv
Manually installed it to the SD card at a distance of 2640 feet.

Everything works fine, except only a small gray popup on the gps indicates the POI location. Visually very small and not easily visible. I can easily edit the text but its still only a small blip on the unit.

I thought "Redlight" indicates a red warning would show up if everything worked correctly.

I'm aware that it's an older unit but it's been updated and with the most current North American maps. Everything else works perfectly and accurately on the gps. Anyone have any idea what I should try next or does the Nuvi 1350 not work that way with keywords.

Thanks for any thoughts in advance.

The colors in the banner display are available only to Garmin. Redlight is a keyword that sets a 400 meter (1/4 mile) warning only.

You can do a voice alert.

Using a wav file named the same as the csv file you can do an alert. That is the best you will get.

Nuvi 2460LMT.

Older devices than the 1300

Older devices than the 1300 series have the red banner bar when using the redlight keyword. Garmin removed that feature on subsequent units, probably to enhance sales of the cyclops database.

I don't miss the banner bar much, as the audio warning is more than sufficient.
