So I recently had my car coded to enable RTTI (Real time traffic information) and bought the new 2012 navigational maps. I heard that these maps include red light speed cameras and police speed traps? Does anyone know how to enable this feature through the menu settings when doing POI search? I was under the impression that it was in the car and travel category?

When you go to the navigation manu, "Information" "car and travel" (I think) you can select speed traps and red lights cam and for gas too. The bad thing is that you can only view one at the time (ex; speed traps or gas icons).


This is how it is on my 2011 Navi disc.

I will try this later, when I go to car and travel select this category the next screen does not have speed traps or red light option. Do you know which category it's in?

Its OEM bought it at the stealership, I would be careful buying after market ones I read on a couple boards after awhile they go bad and wont read any longer. Good luck.
