Some more observations:
1) It may turn out that some of the "extras" in the Extras menu are actually free--PhotoReal Junction View, 3D Buildings, and trafficTrends. I was able to download all three extras to my iPhone via the Extras menu; the Garmin app now recognizes that they have been downloaded:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Note/caveat--when downloading PhotoReal Junction View and 3D Buildings, the app will download whatever map version is specified in the TargetConfig.plist file--for Garmin 2.2, the TargetConfig.plist shows version 2013.10...so once the app downloaded those two files, I simply replaced them with the 2013.40 versions. You cannot simply edit the TargetConfig.plist file and replace 2013.10 with 2013.40 because it contains the exact download location to grab the files..so unless you happen to know the exact download path for the 2013.40 versions of those files, you'll just have to make do with uploading 2013.40 files to your phone after the fact. Also--for whatever reason the PhotoReal Junction View download status reverted back to "FREE" after I replaced the downloaded version with the 2013.40 version, but in any case PhotoReal JCV works correctly (I tested it using the GPS Simulator feature).
Note #2--the trafficTrends file (it's a SID file, in case you were wondering) is downloaded to the ***/Library/sdcard/Garmin/SID folder (instructions for installing it manually stated that it should be installed to ***/garmin-nav.app/storage-***/.System/SID; the PhotoReal JCV when downloaded via the Extras menu is installed in a location similar to the trafficTrends file, except the directory is JCV instead of SID. The 3D Buildings file (gmap3d.img) is installed to ***/Library/sdcard/Garmin as opposed to manually installing it in ***/garmin-nav.app/storage-***/.System.
2) Downloading trafficTrends via the Extras menu properly enables the trafficTrends toggle in Settings -> Extras:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
3) Interesting as to where the sources for the Safety Cameras are coming from (note the various submissions from a user, a static DB source, and a Cyclops source):
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
4) If the Fuel Prices feature is supposed to be an in-app purchase, then it's interesting that it's not listed in the Extras menu...but what's even more interesting is this:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I still can't get the audible alerts for the safety cameras to work...real-time traffic does seem to work, but not the auto route redirect part of it. Still hoping someone may be able to point me to where I can find the Panorama View 3D map...
