How to display traffic lights?

Post by honza »

Is there a way on the 396 to display traffic (intersection) lights on the map?

Do you happen to know if the Zumo XT does?

I'm not sure, but you can ask at the XT section, it's very active one.

No traffic lights on the XT, I don't think lights are included as part of the map data. I've never seen a dedicated GPS with traffic light info.

I've recently seen some traffic lights (and stop signs) on my Google Maps app, but that app is pulling data from supercomputers with unlimited storage capacity. I have many Google maps downloaded to my phone for off-line use, so I can still navigate if I have no cellular service. If I put my phone into airplane mode (no cellular or wifi data) I can still find and navigate to a new destination, but the traffic lights and stop signs are not shown in the Maps app.

I use Google maps on my phone when I drive my car. They show which intersection has traffic lights. I just count how many lights till I have to turn. Makes life so much easier. I'm very surprised garmin doesn't support such a fundamental feature
