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?

    If you care to, you might try posting this to !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world because: 1) yet another item that you pay money for that tries to force you to subscribe to things to have access to all of its features 2) maybe somebody bought one, is a member of that community, and figured out a way to crack it because they were as irritated as you might be (I’d be irritated, I probably would not buy it if I knew it required a subscription to get those extra features).

    You could use Waze? Don’t need the navigation running, just open the app and let it stay running

      How are you supposed to use Waze without having the phone in your hands? Picking up a phone while driving is illegal in my state.
