Confirm or remove a mobile speed camera

You can confirm the presence of a mobile speed camera or remove a mobile speed camera if it is no

longer present.

Just after you pass a mobile speed camera, in the route bar you are asked if the camera was still

there.



Select Yes if the mobile speed camera is still there.



Select No if the mobile speed camera has been removed.

Your selection is sent to TomTom. We collect reports from many users to determine if the camera

warning should be kept or removed.

Updating locations for cameras and hazards

The locations of speed cameras can change frequently. New cameras can also appear without

warning and the locations for other hazards, such as accident blackspots, may also change.

When connected to TomTom services, your TomTom GO BASIC receives all camera updates for fixed

and mobile camera locations in real time. You do not need to do anything to receive updates – they

are sent to your TomTom GO automatically.
