No. Voice ("Red light camera, ahead.") and then a visual countdown to the the location in feet on the radar detector. When you get within a 100 feet or so, it goes voice again ("You have reached your marked location.").
If you have a Smartphone (Android or iPhone), they have the Escort Live option. The radar detector connects to the internet and puts up your radar signals. You are also alerted to radar detected by others in the past hour or so.
The alerts are also mapped out on Google maps in the application. It also has a database of the speed limits of the roads you are using and will alert you when you exceed the speed limit. It also has a button to press if you see a cop, without the radar detector going off, marking the location for others.
The red light camera stuff is built into the radar detector and you can update it by connecting the radar detector to your computer. The Escort Live is an add on, but you also have to pay a monthly fee for the online service.
