Hi
Just been using my 920T and I was warned that I was approaching a speed cam, when I looked on the screen it had a red capital "A" as the icon, not seen this before, any idea what it was?

Thx

Do you remember what type and speed of camera it was?

Look in the POIs menu (Preferences / Manage POIs) on your unit and check what icons are against the various cameras. See if you can find one that matches what you saw. If not go through all POIs.

Do you have voice warnings for cameras or a sound? If sounds, could it be that you mistook a sound for a camera when in fact it was a POI that uses a large red A for it's icon?

Just thinking out loud Smile

Are you using an Accident blackspot POI ?

Some of them come with a big red A as their icon, as in this one....

( please note i have no affiation or association with that file / link )

Ive always noticed that most of these are not far from a speed camera.
