The Speed Cameras service warns you about a variety of locations including:
• Speed camera locations.
• Accident blackspot locations.
• Mobile speed camera locations.
• Average speed camera locations.
• Toll road camera locations.
• Traffic light camera locations.
Important: Regularly connect your navigation device to the TomTom HOME to update the
list of locations for fixed cameras and blackspots.
Subscribing to this service
The Speed Cameras service is a subscription service that you can join using the TomTom
website at tomtom.com.
To download the latest fixed speed camera locations to your navigation device, connect
your device to your computer and start TomTom HOME.
Updating locations for alerts
The locations of speed cameras can change frequently. New cameras can also appear
without warning and the locations for other alerts, such as accident blackspots, may also
change position.
As a result, you may want to have the latest list of camera and alert locations on your
device before you start a journey.
To ensure that you have the latest list, connect your Rider to your computer shortly before
you begin each journey. Start TomTom HOME to update and your device is then updated
with all the latest fixed alert locations.
Speed camera warnings
By default, warnings are given 15 seconds before you reach a speed camera location.
You are warned in three ways:
• Your TomTom Rider plays a warning sound.
• The type of speed camera and your distance from the camera location is shown in the
Driving View. If a speed restriction has been reported for the camera, the speed is also
shown in the Driving View.
• The location of the speed camera is shown on the map.
