Garmin Safety Camera Information

Safety cameras track driving speeds.

Law enforcement agencies across the world use safety cameras to monitor the speed of drivers in an effort to ticket speeding drivers. Garmin offers a subscription service to use in conjunction with their GPS products to alert drivers of the camera locations.

Database

Garmin maintains a safety camera database that it updates weekly. When a driver approaches a safety camera, an alert sounds on a Garmin GPS unit loaded with Garmin's safety camera subscription.

Compatible Devices

As of 2010, Garmin has four series of products capable of working with its safety camera subscription: the Nuvi Series, Zumo Series, Street Pilot c500 Series and the Aera Series

Availability

Safety camera subscriptions are available as a European bundle, separate packages for European countries, a South Africa package and a U.S. and Canada package. The subscriptions are available as a one-time download of all known cameras or as a one-year subscription for unlimited downloads of camera locations, which will remain up-to-date as Garmin updates its database.
