Is Garmin's Red Light Camera Database Accurate?

Garmin, as a well-known GPS navigation and technology company, provides various services and features, including red light camera alerts in some of their devices. However, the accuracy of their red light camera database can vary.

It's important to note that red light camera databases are constantly being updated due to changes in traffic laws, new camera installations, removals, and other factors. While Garmin strives to keep its databases accurate and up-to-date, it's possible that occasional inaccuracies or delays in updating the information can occur.

To ensure the most accurate and current information, it's recommended to regularly update your Garmin device's software and firmware. Additionally, it's always a good idea to stay aware of local traffic laws and regulations regarding red light cameras, as well as exercise caution, and observe traffic signals when approaching intersections.

We met with Garmin management and they seemed content with sourcing red light camera data from an unnamed company in Europe that provides no sources for its database.  As long as Garmin's executives seem satisfied with being behind the curve and not having a complete dataset that is what their customers will get.  Please retweet and post comment on this post if you would like to see our red light content added to the Garmin platform. I don't think management is going to change their data provider unless consumers protest.
