I own a Garmin Dash Cam, and one of the features is red light and speed cameras alerts, however this feature is hidden behind a subscription, the camera doesn’t require internet connection all the time, so theoretically the files could be reverse engineered. I tried to do a quick google search but got nothing, does anybody know if this feature has been cracked?

Reading the description, it does appear to regularly require internet connectivity. It says the purchase comes with a dataset of known locations and regularly gets updated.

If anything, the crack would have to be somehow getting it to use a different dataset, one that I don’t know if it even exists offhand (ie some open sourced red light/speed trap dataset). And that dataset would need to be in the same format as Cyclops.
