Get going Introducing the Speed Cameras app The Speed Cameras app gives you warnings about the following types of cameras and zones that may be on the road you are driving along: Fixed speed cameras. Mobile speed cameras. Likely mobile speed cameras. Average speed zones. Speed enforcement zones. Red light cameras, and red light cameras with speed detection. Traffic restriction cameras.
When you reach the camera you are asked about the status of the camera. You are asked only once about each fixed camera, and asked every time about a mobile camera. If you pass a speed camera and do not receive a warning you can report it to TomTom. Starting the Speed Cameras app Select this button on your device to start the Speed Cameras app. The language used for buttons and menus in the app is the same as the language you selected in your device settings.
Important: The app cannot give warnings until it has received location data and downloaded the camera data for your current location. If your device has no GPS reception, the app uses positions from mobile phone towers. This information is used to determine your approximate location so only data relevant to your location is downloaded. Important: If you are outside of the area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for extra roaming charges while using TomTom services.
