Did you manage to find a speed camera to test it yet?

If you did, was it shown on the map and did it give audio alert?

Re: Report Safety Camera button

My XT2 always used to show cameras on the map and give audio alerts for cameras in my direction of travel. But now there’s nothing at all. I think these devices are just too buggy to rely on. This is not good for such a device. Mine even shows fuel stations that don’t exist or they are just general s ...

Re: Report Safety Camera button

Up Ahead Places is already turned on, it makes no difference. I was wondering if reinstalling the Tread app might help, thinking about it, the info is stored on the XT2 device so Tread shouldn’t play any part in it. Garmin must be aware of the various issues/foibles with their devices but appear u ...

Re: Report Safety Camera button

It's all very strange.. With everything setup how you said, it's still not showing speed cameras on the map or making any sounds or showing any warnings when approaching them or anything! I even went through an area with average speed cameras every half mile or so, again nothing! When approaching a ...

Re: Report Safety Camera button

You mentioned the latest Cyclops updates have to be downloaded using Garmin Express. I already had cyclops installed and working perfectly with both sound and visual notifications. I wasn’t aware Cyclops only updated via garmin express, not over wifi, so I may not have the latest database, but most f ...

Re: Report Safety Camera button

It's worse than I initially thought. I've discovered after a ride out today that none of the speed camera alerts are working at all. I usually let it update over wi-fi but I'm going to plug it into the computer and see if anything updates from there. It would be really good if it also gave warnings ...

Re: Report Safety Camera button

I forgot all about trying with a route planned, so just tried it. Report Safety Cameras is still greyed out. Group ride and R1 radar also greyed out, neither of which I use anyway.

Strange how Garmin makes features disappear or stop working with newer (improved/updated) devices and/or software.

Report Safety Camera button

Today I went past a speed camera but my Zumo XT2 gave no alert for it, so it was not in the camera database. Luckily I noticed the camera and the lines marked on the road and I wasn't speeding, but this got me thinking there should be a simple way to report missing cameras. It would be good if there ...

Re: Hey Garmin: YOU’RE FIRED!

Garmin devices can indeed sometimes be frustrating; they’re complicated beasts but there is a lot going on between the software and hardware and the connected devices. In my experience it’s usually user error or misunderstanding which causes issues. Something I’m guilty of. We know what we want to do ...

Re: smart notifications not working

Yes, but as you say, that’s the Android version of Tread. On the iPhone notifications are controlled by the phone itself. The Garmin Tread app support page says.. For Apple iOS, no configuration is needed for Smart Notifications in the Tread App. The smart notifications sent to the device are c ...
