Speed camera alert notifications
Depending on your settings you will be notified of speed camera locations through the following:
+ Speed camera icon in the route bar and along your route on the map
+ Distance to the speed camera in the route bar
+ Speed limit at the camera's location in the route bar
+ Audible alert as you get closer to the camera's location
+ Your speed is monitored when you are approaching a camera's location and when you are driving in an
average speed check zone. If you drive more than 5 km/h (3 mph) over the designated speed limit, the route
bar will turn red. If you drive up to 5 km/h (3 mph) over the designated speed limit, the route bar will turn
orange.
To see the type of traffic enforcement camera, the maximum speed, and the length of an average speed check
zone in the map and guidance views, select one of the speed camera icons in the route bar. In the map view,
you can also select a traffic enforcement camera type that appears along your route.
Reporting a speed camera location
If you pass a speed camera location that you did not receive an alert about, please report it. Make sure you
are connected to TomTom services and are signed in to your TomTom account. Once you have reported the
camera's location, the details will be saved to your device, anonymized and then shared with other drivers. You
can report speed camera locations in two (2) ways:
1: Using the speed panel
1.
Tap the speed camera symbol on the speed panel in the guidance view
2.
To confirm that your speed camera report has been registered, you will see a message thanking you for the
update
2: Using the quick menu
1.
Tap the current location icon or the speed panel in the guidance view
2.
Then tap Report speed camera from the pop-up menu
3.
To confirm that your speed camera report has been registered, you will see a message thanking you for the
update
NOTE: to delete a speed camera report, tap Cancel in the message.
Updating location information for cameras and hazards
Just after you pass the known location of a mobile speed camera, you will be asked in a route bar message if
the camera is still there. Tap Yes to confirm or No to update camera location information.
DANGER AND RISK ZONES
TomTom's Danger and Risk Zone Warnings service is configured specifically for travel on roadways throughout
France. Since January 3, 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the locations in France of fixed and
mobile speed cameras. In compliance with this law, your TomTom GO Expert Plus will warn you when you are
approaching danger zones and risk zones (as opposed to speed camera locations).
NOTE: danger zones are designated, permanent locations. Risk zones are reported by motorists and are
classified as "temporary" danger zones.
Since danger zones and risk zones may contain one (1) or more speed cameras and driving hazards, the
danger zone icon will be displayed as you approach either zone. The minimum length of these zones is 300m
[0.19 miles] for roads in urban areas, 2000m [1.24 miles] for secondary roads and 4000m [2.49 miles] for
motorways.
+ Speed camera locations are now unavailable and have been replaced by a danger zone icon that will be
displayed as you approach designated zones
+ The length of the zone depends on the road type and can be 300m, 2000m or 4000m
+ More than one (1) speed camera may be located within each danger zone
+ If speed camera locations are close together within a single danger zone, your danger zone warnings may
merge and result in the length of the upcoming danger zone being extended. Please note that outside France,
you will receive alerts about speed camera locations. Inside France, you will receive warnings about danger
zones and risk zones.
