Report Safety Camera button

Today I went past a speed camera but my Zumo XT2 gave no alert for it, so it was not in the camera database. Luckily I noticed the camera and the lines marked on the road and I wasn't speeding, but this got me thinking there should be a simple way to report missing cameras. It would be good if there was a button on screen which I could just touch.

When I got home I looked at the XT2 and found a "Report Safety Camera" item mentioned in a menu but it's greyed out, as are some other items.

How I found it.. From the main map screen, press the 3 bar menu at bottom right of the screen which goes to a screen showing 13 items but many of these are greyed out and cannot be selected.

The greyed out items are:- Report Safety Camera, Towns Ahead, Group Ride, Elevation, Turns, Zumo R1 Radar

The available options which are not greyed out are:- Track Recorder, Traffic, Up Ahead, Trip Data, Music Player, Weather, Phone

Anyone know why some items are greyed out and unavailable and/or how to enable the option I want?

My XT2 is connected to the Tread app on my iPhone and my cardo headset.

BTW, in the "Up Ahead" settings I came across "Garmin Red Light Cameras" but this wouldn't let me put a cross in the box to select it.

So does anyone know if it's even possible to have Report Safety Camera option?

No, I cannot find it either.

I think it used to be there. It is there on the XT1 but is greyed out. It isn't there at all on my XT2.

Elevation, Turns are all available if there is a route active. (Even under simulation)

Zumo R1 Radar, Group Ride, Towns Ahead are grey. But I don't have a R1 Radar. You can set up a group ride without a Group ride radio. It uses your phone data . Perhaps people need to have joined it to be able to see anything. Towns - maybe it hasn't come across anywhere ahead yet. Im at home at my desk.

Report safety camera is not there now. v5.40 system software on the XT2
It is there but greyed out on the XT1.

I forgot all about trying with a route planned, so just tried it. Report Safety Cameras is still greyed out. Group ride and R1 radar also greyed out, neither of which I use anyway.

Strange how Garmin makes features disappear or stop working with newer (improved/updated) devices and/or software.

The remainder of Group ride works - ie I can set up a Grop Ride and invite people.
I understood (but don't know) that their position just appears on the map.
Maybe the Group ride feature that is greyed out is for the GroupRide Radio facility ?
