Ticket cameras

I downloaded different audio alarms and icons for when I set off a prozimity alert. How do I change the default announcement with the Nuvi?

Well, it was only a matter of time before New Orleans decided to go full tilt on the New Cameras. According to the article, they will have between 30 and 50 by the end of the year. Currently, each camera is issuing approximately 1,000 new citations a week (@$110 ea.).

Listening to DW radio yesterday, they had an article relating to the above incidents from Mid December.

A net search shows that there have been similar incidents in England.

I personally advocate letter writing if you want one moved/deactivated.

I saw this web link it would be of value here. Unfortunately I havn't the time to make a POI file from it.

Does any one know of any sights that allow you to download POI for red light camera alerts for the Magellan 4040?

So if we are now at the point where cameras are used to detect speed then (at the risk of asking a rhetorical question,) why do police cars still use RADAR instead of cameras? (By rhetorical I meant - Could it be so that companies can sell RADAR detectors??? Or instead, are these too not camearas but instead RADAR?..)

Does anyone know of an advantage to micro-SD over regular SD, other than size? Garmin is beginning to use micro-SD in its new GPS systems. I enjoy having different media on several cards. The micro-SD card in my cell phone is difficult to swap out. It's also easy to lose.

Let me know if you are aware of advantages to micro-SD.

thx,

The local news in the DC-Baltimore area has reported that the MD legislature is about to approve legislation that will dramatically increase the number of speed cameras throughout the State of Maryland. High priority areas are school zones and residential neighborhoods. It is unclear thus far when the new cameras would be installed.

Last week Dallas officials realized that their red light cameras were working TOO WELL! They shut down 25% of their cameras because they were losing revenue because drivers were too aware of the cameras and were commiting fewer citable offenses.

Very interesting article.

Here's the link to the article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23710970/?GT1=43001

Not enough MONEY generated and very little "accident" protection (less than 5%) statistically documented.

I just thought I would post this as I find it humorous.

I worked for a Global Company in Ontario Canada back in the early 90's.

My manager who was at a fairly high level went to Germany with some other managers and a VP who was known for his temper.

My attention was diverted this week by some of the general maintainer features that need attention so this weeks update does not include all of the reports that I received. I have not been able to do the research that I like on some of the locations that have come in over the last week.

Life is good when politicians ignore the studies and hide behind the "safety" card....

Okay i understand the fear of the speed enforcement camera but why such a big deal over the red light cameras? Are there that many people that running red lights that this is a worry for the average driver?

Hey guys,

I have a Garmin c550 and used POILoader to load a custom red-light camera file onto my GPS unit. I set it to alert 1370 ft. ahead of the camera. I tested this out today driving around town, and I was alerted about none of the cameras. Any suggestions? Thanks

City giving refunds for one red light camera.

I live near a new Red Light Camera intersection, so I pass through it frequently. I noticed two things... only one makes sense.

A) The camera will flash if someone doesn't come to a complete stop before making a right hand turn. 3 directions of traffic flow have a Yield but that 4th direction will catch you if you're not careful.

I need a volunteer to be the contact person for a project. Here is a link to the story regarding the upcoming speed enforcement program that is going to be going on http://www.tacomadailyindex.com/portals-code/list.cgi?paper=...

Im looking for information on School and Playground zones in Calgary Alberta. Does anyone have suggestions where I can find a POI or the information to create a POI.

Chicago, Illinois unveiled a pair of deals it had reached to turn the city into the undisputed automated ticketing capital of the United States. The city had already operated one of the country's larger red light camera programs beginning in November 2003. To date, that program has generated $72 million worth of tickets which has helped to ease the city's substantial budget deficit.
