Does Garmin Drivesmart 65 have speed camera alerts?
The device alerts you when you approach a reported speed or red light camera. In some areas, your device can receive live red light and speed camera data while connected to a smartphone running the Garmin Drive™ app.

Garmin drivesmart 65 with Alexa
Hi
My garmin device [drivesmart 65 with Alexa] isnt showing the proximity alerts (speed camera) when it isnt connected to the garmin smartphone app (driveSmart). If connected to the smartpone app , then the alerts would work.
I tried installing the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] but still the same issue.

- however whether encrypted or Linux the firmware cannot yet be 'patched' as can usual Garmin fw devices which only have MSV/GVS protection.Code:Please Login or Register to see the links

It all comes down to where you are buying a new Garmin or a second hand one.
Do you homework as to what you are looking for in a GPS Unit.
Garmin is only trying to protect what they have so users can not come in the back door to get something for nothing.
I have a lot of money tied up in Garmin products and they all work. If I need a map that did not come with what I bought because I am planning to say spend a couple of weeks in the US and I have an EU Garmin.
Then I buy a one time map for the US the chances of going back would be very small.
Now here is the EU there are 2 types of GPS unit setup.
You can get the class classification:
Newer Garmin GPS's
LMT-S <----Needs access to smartphone for traffic
LMT-D <--- Has Dab+ built in to get traffic
I have 2 units with LMT-D that came with life time Speed Cameras.
As for LMT-S that need a smartphone I avoid them.
So always do you homework when thing about a Garmin Unit and if it really fits you needs and not have to patch it to get what you want.
With the newer Garmin that is not working any more and I do not see anyone trying to take on this new format that Garmin has.

installed SCDB using POI Loader
Then removed 'all custom POI' using POI Loader
then remoced all the cyclops stuff from device by connecting to PC
Then installed unlocked cyclops from the other thread.
Now , they are working..gif ":)))")
Edit:
so ..here is what i found
you can use SCDB
you can use unlocked cyclops files
once you connect to the smartphone app , speedcamera data from the app will overwrite the offline unlocked cyclops files. Next time when you are offline, it wont show the offline data also.
You cant use offline cyclops and smartphone app at the same time.Last edited by Boki; 13th March 2023 at 09:01 PM. Reason: merged two posts
