Thread: Speedcams for Honda Connect?

I have made return routes through the speed camera in case any alert was direction sensitive. I have added a couple of photos indicating Garmin info. It would appear to me that I cannot have alerts with this system, which is a disappointment. However I was wondering if it is possible to animate the speedcam icon, as with vehicle icons (Simpsons characters), which would give the opportunity to have a flashing icon as an alert. Thank you for your assisstance so far, much appreciated.

Thanks for the excellent video and info. Definitely not alerts capable*. The coords are exactly the same; the reason why it's smaller is because your .gpi has .wav and mine used built-in tone. The size of my icon is 24x24 (it's max for StreetPilot), but on Honda Connect it can be larger (read previous replies about that) Icons are simple .bmp so can't be animated. It would seem Honda Connect can only handle Garmin POI record and not any extension that makes it alerts (omni or directional)

* as long as behavior is same in driving as in simulation (some system alerts work correctly in driving but not in simulation)

Just a final test, driving through your speedcam both ways and still no alert, just the icon, showing same results as simulation. Thank you for your help.
