Crossing into another area or country

When you drive into an area or country that does not permit safety camera warnings, your GO
switches the safety cameras service off. You will not receive safety camera warnings in those areas or
countries.
Some areas or countries permit limited safety camera warnings, for example only warnings for fixed
cameras or warnings for risk zones. Your GO automatically switches to give limited warnings when
you cross into those areas or countries.

Safety camera warnings

Warnings are given as you approach a safety 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 safety 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 zone, 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 safety camera symbol in the route bar to
see the type of camera, the maximum speed and also the length of an average speed zone. In the
map view, you can also select a safety camera that is shown on your route.
