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:

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
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 Superior 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’s charge is low and critically low. 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.
