Recently, but I cannot determine exactly when it happened, I have started to get no audible warnings for any redlight cameras - all the other warnings seem to work.

The odd thing is I do see the traffic light icon on the screen - just get no warning sound.

I take the PGPSW .csv files and process them with a tool called Garmin GPX Converter but I have been doing that for a long time now and these warnings always worked until quite recently.

I just check the redlight csv against a couple of the others and there seems to be a subtle difference - each line is wrapped in quotation marks and Microsoft Excel fails to open it as a CSV file - I just get one entry in column one for each line rather than multiple columns as I do with other files. Here is an example from redlight

";Longitude,Latitude,Name"
"-2.10271,53.42485,""REDLIGHT:1419@30"""
"0.65513,51.55405,""REDLIGHT:1708@30"""
"-2.23347,53.48144,""REDLIGHT:2592@30"""
"-1.30003,54.60558,""REDLIGHT:3250@40"""

and one from another file

;Longitude,Latitude,Name
-2.49871,52.70615,"pMOBILE:11408@30"
-0.64105,52.28197,"pMOBILE:11416@30"
-0.64965,52.28004,"pMOBILE:11417@30"

My unit is a Nuvi 660FM.

I've just checked a consolidated database for the Garmin POILoader and the quotes you mention do not appear?

ditto.

the quotation marks only appear around the 'name' of the point - i.e. "REDLIGHT:1234@30" as opposed to around the whole thing

Yes I have to admit I have no idea what happened here. I extracted the file in question again from the zip file - no extra quotes. I ran it though the Garmin GPX Converter tool - still no extra quotes. Sad

But what I showed you in the first post was a direct cut and paste from the file. I have no idea what happened. However something seemed to corrupt the file and it did seem to disable the red light warnings.

I have reloaded my 660 and will try and find a red light camera to see if it is now working again.
