#1. Coyote system integration:
Some companies like Coyote sell additional hardware that can be integrated with your BMW's navigation system to display speed camera alerts and other real-time traffic information. These systems usually come with a dedicated display or integrate with the existing BMW display. Check with trusted vendors for this system.
#2. Third-party navigation applications:
There are a few third-party navigation apps, like Waze or TomTom, that can be installed on your smartphone and connected to your BMW navigation system. Many of these apps have user-generated speed camera databases, which can provide real-time alerts as you approach a speed camera.
#3. Car computer system integration:
Some advanced car computer systems, such as Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, can be integrated with your BMW navigation system. These systems allow you to run certain third-party apps, including navigation apps with speed camera alerts. Make sure your BMW is compatible with these systems and that your smartphone supports them.
#4. GPS devices with map updates:
Some GPS devices can be updated with regularly updated map databases that include the locations of speed cameras. Once the device is updated with the latest maps, it can be synced with your BMW navigation system to alert you to speed camera locations.
Always Follow These Rules when using Navigation:
- Obey speed limits and road signs regardless of the information provided by any navigation system or app.
- Be aware of your surroundings and drive responsibly, focusing on the road rather than solely relying on navigation systems or alerts.
- Use only reputable sources for speed camera information, as some user-generated databases can be inaccurate or out-of-date.
- Be mindful of local traffic laws. In some jurisdictions, using devices that warn about speed cameras may be considered illegal.
