The TomTom Safety Alerts service warns you about a variety of locations including:
• Safety camera locations.
• Accident blackspot locations.
• Mobile safety camera locations.
• Average speed camera locations.
• Toll road camera locations.
• Traffic light camera locations.
Important: Regularly connect your navigation device to TomTom HOME to update the list
of locations for all types of safety alerts. The locations of mobile cameras are sent directly
to your device.
When a safety camera location is shown on the map, a warning sound is played to warn
you that you are approaching an area where a safety camera is located.
If you discover a location that has a safety camera but you receive no warning, you can
report the new location to TomTom using your Blue&Me-TomTom.
Setting up Safety Cameras
The TomTom Safety Camera service is a subscription service that you can join using
TomTom HOME.
To download the latest camera locations to your device, click Update my device in
TomTom HOME.
Updating locations for safety alerts
The locations of safety cameras can change frequently. New cameras can also appear
without warning and the locations for other alerts, such as accident blackspots, may also
change position.
As a result, you may want to have the latest list of camera and alert locations on your
device before you start a journey.
To ensure that you have the latest list, connect your Blue&Me-TomTom to TomTom
HOME on your computer shortly before you begin each journey. Your device is then auto-
matically updated with all the latest locations.
Safety camera warnings
Warnings are given 15 seconds before you reach a safety camera location.
You are warned in three ways:
• Your Blue&Me-TomTom plays a warning sound.
