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.
