Safety Cameras
Safety camera information is
available in some locations. Check
http://my.garmin.com for availability.
For these locations, the nvi includes
the locations of hundreds of safety
cameras. Your nvi alerts you when
you are approaching a safety camera
and can warn you if you are driving
too fast. The data is updated at least
weekly, so you always have access to
the most up-to-date information.
You can purchase a new region
or extend an existing subscription
at any time. Each region that you
purchase has its own expiration date.
Caution: Garmin is not
responsible for the accuracy
of, or the consequences of
using, a custom POI or safety
camera database.
