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.
Information about the location of speed cameras and traffic jams is continually updated by TomTom
and other users and frequently sent to your app so that you always have the latest information. As
more users report and confirm speed cameras then the more accurate the Speed Cameras app
becomes. You can also contribute by reporting new speed camera locations, or reporting whether a
speed camera is still present.
The speed cameras are shown on a road or a map which moves as you drive. The road view is shown
when you open the Speed Cameras app, and you can choose to see the map view or road view. You
can view the map, and you can choose to show traffic jams on the map. If you want to use other
apps while still being warned about speed cameras, you can choose Overlay mode.
When you are approaching a camera and until you have passed the camera, the type of camera and
the distance to the camera are shown, and you hear a warning sound. The background colour turns
orange or red if you are driving faster than the speed limit permitted at the camera's location.
