I've been fiddling with my 9500i, and when i set camera locations in downtown and such, I hate the lengthy distance at which it tells me ahead of time, I don't need a 1 mile notice of a red light cam in downtown, it's unnecessary.
So I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the alert distance, to say, 500-1000 ft.?
Slow down to under 55 when marking it. it will put it at 1/2 mile.
Yea. most downtown lights i've marked are at about 10mph. but even 1/2 mile is unnecessary. it alerts me when i'm on the freeway about a camera i marked in downtown cause i'm 1900 feet away from it. Sucks.
Thats what I do not like. If you are and direction away from the marked point you get these alerts.
I am unmarking the points I have in the unit (Wife's request since it is her unit) it also drives me crazy with the alerts while in the city area.
I hope they have feedback on this and come up with something of a fix it is useless the way it is now with multiple cams or marked locations within a 1/2 to 1 mile of each other.
I just let my GPS using free red light/ speed trap POI do the work of the above.
I only use it for speed traps, the 1/2 under 50mph and 1mi over 50mph works fine for that.
I don’t find my self wanting to blow red light cameras much. Hopefully we will be able to set the radius when the software is released by the end of the summer.
