I was watching a news program and this website was talked about. They have programs that are able to down load to most GPS units & devices via a SD card. It shows icons on your navigation screen that locate red light cameras, speed traps, and usual spots where the police normally conduct laser speed detection. The website is called:
It would be cool to have this on your Pioneer. Anyone know if it can be done?
If you go to the website watch the news video on the left side first one down.
Pioneer has already said they will allow for the creation of POIs that can then be loaded onto the system. The problem is that although you could set them to show up on the map, you won't get a notification that you're approaching one.
Unless Pioneer decides to add support for traffic cameras and the like, don't hold your breath.
Even tho no sound notification, a bright logo (POI) of the cameras or speed traps would be helpful. On the Phantom website you can get all the locations of the traps and there latitude/longitude points. Especially helpful for use in your local area or region. We have alot of cameras in Baltimore. It would be useful for me.
My European F700BT came with a years subscription to download the location of speed cameras, both mobile and fixed - does the US version not have this?
You could go with a kenwood unit instead. The DNX8120 allows proximity alert for speed and red light cams. You can go to any website that host POI files and download them and install them in the DNX.

the phantom alert has like 20,000 POI's, how long would it take you to input all those and how big of an SD card would you need to transfer em all? i think its an awesome idea if it can be done, and id be willing to do it, as long ans i dont have to input every single one.
maybe theres a way to get into the POI's section on the windows and input them there? anyone know if that's possible?
Id only do the ones in my area first.
ya i would too...but theres a big difference between being able to say "i know all the cop spots in new york" and "i kno all the cop spots in the united states"
