SPEED CAMERAS

About TomTom Speed Camera Alerts TomTom’s Speed Camera Alerts service warns you about the locations of the following hazards and traffic enforcement cameras:

• Fixed and mobile speed cameras: check the speed of passing vehicles
• Mobile speed camera hotspots: show where mobile speed cameras are often used
• Average speed camera: measure your average speed between two points
• Speed enforcement zones: contain multiple speed cameras
• Red light cameras: check for vehicles’ traffic violations at traffic lights
• Traffic restriction cameras: alert you to roadways that are restricted
• Accident blackspot locations: places where traffic accidents have frequently occurred

You can access the Speed Camera Alerts service on your TomTom GO Navigator through an active internet connection.

NOTE: TomTom’s Speed Camera Alerts service may not be available in the country you are driving through. For drivers traveling through France, TomTom provides the Danger and Risk Zone Warnings service. In Switzerland and Germany, the use of devices that alert users to the locations of fixed and mobile speed camera locations are prohibited. In compliance with these laws, speed camera alerts have been deactivated on all TomTom GPS Sat Navs. You can, however, reactivate these alerts for travel outside Germany and Switzerland. Since the legality of speed camera alerts varies throughout the EU, this service is available for use at your own risk. TomTom assumes no liability for your use of these alerts and warnings.

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 by applying the following steps

Tap the speed camera symbol on the speed panel in the guidance view

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 Navigator 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.

QUICK DEVICE FIXES

Device does not start or stops responding to commands

If your device is not responding, first check that your device’s battery is charged.
Your device will alert you when its battery charges are low and critically low. Low and critically low battery charges will cause your device to lose its connection to TomTom services. If your battery’s charge is depleted, your device will switch to sleep mode.
If this doesn’t solve the problem, you can perform a restart. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the TomTom logo and hear the drum roll.
