"Speed camera 1000 feet"

Does anyone else get these erroneous messages pop up on the console? I look and I don't see anything around.

I haven't seen that one, but then again, we don't have speed cameras where I am.

Have you taken the same route again to see if you get the same message? I've used the navigation system once and it wanted me to take a strange detour off the highway to get back onto the highway a mile or so later.

I got a red light camera and speed camera. The red light camera was definitely accurate. Not sure about speed camera though.

This stuff is built into the car GPS? Not via Waze or similar?

Yes, and it comes with all levels of trim, not just with the "packages". I have not seen "speed camera", but here in South Florida red light cameras are everywhere so I see it a lot. The display is "Red Light Camera", and underneath is a distance countdown beginning at 1/4 mi. and counting down at 100 ft. intervals as you approach the intersection.

Personally I do not need assistance to keep from blowing red lights, and this kind of annoyed me at first, but I realize that there is no way to kill it, and I will just have to wait for my brain to become desensitized to it.

Same here with not needing light stopping assistance, but they are pretty rare around here so no big deal. Does it only warn you when you have the GPS map up or all the time even without the map? Now, if they could find a way to feed Waze traffic and cop info into it THAT would be something.

It is active at all times, map on or off, but it only displays when the traffic signal ahead is red for your direction of travel thank God. If not, the damned thing would never turn off. Like I said, they are everywhere around here.

Interesting. You would think they would give you a way to mute that notification if you didn't want it. Or maybe just put a little signal in the HUD
