Question: What is the difference between the Safety Camera purchase options? Answer: Safety Camera information is available in formats including a One Year subscription, a One-time download, and a Free trial. Your format selection will depend on how frequently you plan to download updates as well as the length of time you would like to have the service. One-year subscription – A One-year subscription will provide unlimited safety camera downloads for the region selected over the course of one year. Pay only one time and return as often as you choose to download updates to your compatible device. This option will keep you up to date as safety cameras are relocated or added in your area.

Last modified on. I'll comment on the the differences between Garmin's offering and POI Factory's offering. I tested (free 30-day trial) Garmin's offering on my nuvi 765 and here's what I found (off the top of my head). Garmin's pros: 1.

Nice speed cam icon embedded in the grey alert banner (I could not test older units that use the green alert banner at the top of the map screen) 2. Very easy to install with no configuration needed 3.

Supposedly updated on a weekly basis (I only got one update in 30 days) Garmin's cons: 1. Paid subscription lasts only one year 2.

RLC (redlight cam) file is locked to only one GPS unit 3. Alert icon and sound are fixed and cannot be changed by the user 4. Alert distance is fixed at.1 mile (too close for me personally) and cannot be changed 5. Cannot search for speed/RLCs on the unit using Where To?ExtrasCustom POIs 6.

Cannot test the RLCs using 5 above in GPS simulation mode 7. RLC intersection is not named (ex. Main St & Flower Rd) POI Factory's pros: (these will apply to pretty much any user uploadable POIs, not just POI Factory's since it's done through Garmin's POI Loader) 1. Customizable icons, sounds, alert distances 2. Updated weekly with an online changelog (locations added/removed by State) 3. On-unit searchable (Where To?) and testable in GPS simulation mode 4.

Must be an active forum member to access files (not really a disadvantage after all). Uploading and setting up alerts/icons/sounds can be confusing to the beginner. It doesn't have anything to do with putting the gpi file on your unsupported device, it's the fact that you can't get the trial version for a device that isn't on the compatiblity list. Here is what you get when you attempt to download the file for a unsupported 3597: Also I was able to download the.gpi file using another one of my Nuvi's. Placing that file on the unsupported 3597 results in the contents of the.gpi file not even showing up under Custom POIs on the Nuvi. The Cyclops files may well work on your 360 but you can't download or use them on a device that isn't on the compatibility list. On the other hand, I have never had a problem with the speed and red light camera files from poi-factory.com and they are free, have no device compatibility issues, are updated monthly and are free if you maintain your account over there.
