Drivesmart 86 owners, can you try photolive on your GPS and let me know if it works for you? I've been working with Garmin support on and off for months, and I would like to hear from one actual owner of this device that has it working or not. My GPS always says "no traffic cameras found", but I can manually select every camera in front of me and view it.
Viewing photoLive Traffic Cameras on the Map
The photoLive map tool shows traffic cameras from the road ahead of you.
From the map, select Map tools menu > photoLive.
The device shows the live image from the nearest traffic camera on the road ahead, along with the distance to the camera. When you pass the camera, the device loads the live image of the next camera on the road.
On and Off
Since day one, it's just ON and OFF, and not just 86, old model got the same issue
when it worked, it's nice to have and thanks for your effort to contact them to have support.
Update... it works now!
The last update to the Garmin Drive app appears to have fixed the problem... photo live is working now! Selecting photo live shows the next traffic cam on your route, and when you pass it, it advances again to the next traffic cam. I only expected it to work on interstates, but I was surprised to see it working on non interstate highways too. VA and MD have a LOT of cams throughout the state, this is a great feature... too bad it took so long for Garmin to fix it.
