Introducing the Speed Cameras app

Get going

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.  Average speed zones.  Speed enforcement zones.  Red light cameras.  Traffic restriction cameras.

The speed cameras are shown on a map which moves as you drive. You can also choose to show traffic jams on the map. You can also view the map.

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. You can also contribute by reporting new speed camera locations.

When you are approaching a camera, a warning panel is shown at the bottom of the Driving View showing the distance to the camera, and you hear a warning sound. The colour of the panel turns orange or red if you are driving faster than the speed limit permitted at the camera.

When you have reached the camera you can report if the camera is still present or if it is no longer present on the road.

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.

Starting the Speed Cameras app

Sending information to TomTom

To use the Speed Cameras app, you must agree to send information to TomTom. Go to About in the menu to see detailed information about sending information with TomTom.

Important: Your Speed Cameras app will not work if you do not agree to send information.

Additional information

If you think that your information is not being used for the purpose for which you have provided it to TomTom, contact us at tomtom.com/support.

You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy.

Closing the app

The app stays active and visible on your device screen.

Press the device Home button to return your device to the home screen. The app is not active and does not give notification warnings and sounds. Eventually your device's operating system will close the app.

GPS reception

When you first start the Speed Cameras app, it may need a few minutes to find your current location. To make sure you have good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

If your device loses connection to your mobile network or loses GPS reception, the app stops working and the message Network connection disabled or GPS is disabled is shown. Select Phone

settings to open your device's Settings app and check your device's connection settings.

Important: The app cannot give warnings until it has received location data and downloaded the

map and 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.

Regional availability

The TomTom Speed Cameras service is only available in the countries supported by the app.

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. Check with your mobile operator for more details.

Frequency of updates

Your Speed Cameras app is constantly being updated unless the connection to the TomTom server is lost.

Your app may not be receiving updates from TomTom due to one or more of the following reasons:

 Your subscription has expired.  Your device may have Mobile Data switched off or may be in flight mode. You can check this in

your device settings.

 You may be travelling through an area with poor mobile network coverage. Check with your

operator if you have difficulties connecting to data networks in your area.
