About TomTom Speed Camera Alerts
TomTom’s Speed Camera Alerts service warns you about the locations of the following hazards
and trac enforcement cameras:
+ Fixed and mobile speed cameras: check the speed of passing vehicles
+ Mobile speed camera hotspots: show where mobile speed cameras are often used
+ Average speed camera: measure your average speed between two points
+ Speed enforcement zones: contain multiple speed cameras
+ Red light cameras: check for vehicles’ trac violations at trac lights
+ Trac restriction cameras: alert you to roadways that are restricted
+ Accident blackspot locations: places where trac accidents have frequently occurred
You can access the Speed Camera Alerts service on your TomTom GO Expert through an active
internet connection.
NOTE: TomTom’s Speed Camera Alerts service may not be available in the country you are driving
through. For drivers traveling through France, TomTom provides the Danger and Risk Zone
Warnings service. In Switzerland and Germany, the use of devices that alert users to the locations
of fixed and mobile speed camera locations are prohibited. In compliance with these laws, speed
camera alerts have been deactivated on all TomTom GPS Sat Navs. You can, however, reactivate
these alerts for travel outside Germany and Switzerland. Since the legality of speed camera alerts
varies throughout the EU, this service is available for use at your own risk. TomTom assumes no
liability for your use of these alerts and warnings.
SPEED CAMERA ALERT NOTIFICATIONS
Depending on your settings you will be notified of speed camera locations through the following:
+ Speed camera icon in the route bar and along your route on the map
+ Distance to the speed camera in the route bar
+ Speed limit at the camera’s location in the route bar
+ Audible alert as you get closer to the camera’s location
+ Your speed is monitored when you are approaching a camera’s location and when you are
driving in an average speed check zone. If you drive more than 5 km/h (3 mph) over the
designated speed limit, the route bar will turn red. If you drive up to 5 km/h (3 mph) over the
designated speed limit, the route bar will turn orange.
To see the type of trac enforcement camera, the maximum speed, and the length of an average
speed check zone in the map and guidance views, select one of the speed camera icons in the
route bar. In the map view, you can also select a trac enforcement camera type that appears
along your route.
Reporting a speed camera location
If you pass a speed camera location that you did not receive an alert about, please report it. Make
sure you are connected to TomTom services and are signed in to your TomTom account. Once you
have reported the camera’s location, the details will be saved to your device, anonymized and then
shared with other drivers. You can report speed camera locations in two (2) ways:
