About TomTom speed cameras
The TomTom Speed Cameras service warns you about the following camera locations:
 Fixed speed camera locations.
 Mobile speed camera locations.
 Mobile speed camera hotspots.
 Average speed camera locations.
 Speed enforcement zones.
 Red light camera locations.
 Traffic restriction cameras.
The Speed Cameras service also warns you about the following hazards:
 Accident blackspot locations.
To get TomTom services on your TomTom GO BASIC, you must be connected to the internet.
Important: The Speed Cameras service isn't available in all countries. For example, in France,
TomTom offers a Danger Zone service instead and in Switzerland, no speed camera services are
permitted at all. In Germany, you are responsible for switching the Speed Cameras service on or off.
The issue of the legality of using speed camera services in Germany and other EU countries is not
unique. You therefore use this service at your own risk. TomTom accepts no liability arising from
the use of this service.
Crossing into another area or country
When you drive into an area or country that does not permit speed camera warnings, your TomTom
GO BASIC switches the TomTom speed cameras service off. You will not receive speed cameras
warnings in those areas or countries.
Some areas or countries permit limited speed camera warnings, for example only warnings for fixed
cameras, or warnings for risk zones. Your TomTom GO automatically switches to give limited
warnings when you cross into those areas or countries.
Speed camera warnings
Warnings are given as you approach a speed camera. You are warned in several ways:
 A symbol is shown in the route bar and on your route on the map.
 Your distance to the speed camera is shown in the route bar.
 The speed limit at the camera location is shown in the route bar.
 You hear a warning sound as you get near the camera.
 While you are approaching a camera or driving in an average speed check area, your speed is
monitored. If you drive more than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns red.
If you drive less than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns orange.
Tip: In the map view or guidance view, you can select a speed camera symbol in the route bar to
see the type of camera, the maximum speed and also the length of an average speed check area.
In the map view, you can also select a speed camera that is shown on your route.
