My Garmin Device is Not Alerting Me to Every Red Light and Speed Camera Location
If you have Garmin Red Light and Speed Cameras enabled on your device, but you do not receive an alert when passing some of the camera locations, there are some steps you can try to resolve the issue.
The Garmin Red Light and Speed Camera alerts have a feature in which they will only warn you if you are traveling within 10% below the speed limit or any range above the speed limit. For example, if you are traveling at 26 mph/kph or less in a 30 mph/kph range, you will not be audibly alerted to the camera, but may receive a grey alert banner of the camera's location. If you are traveling at 27 mph/kph or more in the 30 mph/kph range, you will be alerted. This is the same for all speed limits.
If you are traveling in the speed limit range but you are still not being alerted to certain red light or speed cameras, make sure the camera database is up to date on the device.
