SPEED CAMERA SITES

[GedJack]

Can anyone tell me if its possible to put the speed camera sites into my 2610. And if so how do you do it. I have also just used it for the first time this weekend in the car and i want to know if you can change the voice prompt of the American woman.

Regards Gedjack.

3 Yes

BTW you won't get an aural prompt with the "old" 2610 Newer 2720 and 2820 do

John is correct, but be aware that the method that he refers to is sort of a "user developed trick" that simply overlays visual symbols onto the map to indicate where speed cameras are.

It's not the same as having a GPSR that provides warning of speed cameras. GPSRs that were designed to provide warning of speed cameras provide both a flashing visual warning and an audible warning tone if you are approaching a speed camera.

I'm not trying to diss the trick of loading the visual markers in the older GPSRs - in its day (way back before the development of GPSRs that provided active alerts) it was a clever and elegant way of providing some basic reminder of where the cameras were - but in today's environment, with the friggin' cameras everywhere in some countries, it ain't sufficient to protect your wallet.
