Speed camera laws vary by country. We're committed to safer driving and to following local regulations. When the law requires it, we adjust our services or limit availability. Here's what that means in each country.
Always check and follow local traffic rules wherever you drive.
Germany
German traffic law doesn't permit using devices or apps that warn you about fixed or mobile speed cameras while you're driving. Possession is generally allowed, but you're expected to turn off camera alerts when you drive.
If you're driving in Germany, turn off speed camera alerts before you start and keep them off while you drive.
How to turn off camera alerts in the TomTom app:
- Open the app and tap the menu icon in the top left.
- Scroll down and tap Tom.
- Tap Alert preferences.
- Switch Cameras off.
France
French law doesn't allow warnings about the exact location of speed cameras. To keep you compliant, TomTom adapts the service in France.
Instead of showing exact camera locations, you'll see Danger Zone alerts. These mark stretches of road where you should take extra care — for example, due to potential hazards, which may include speed checks. The app adjusts automatically when you're in France.
Switzerland, Cyprus and North Macedonia
Local law in Switzerland, Cyprus and North Macedonia doesn't permit speed camera warning systems. TomTom therefore doesn't offer this service there. If you're driving in these countries, you don't need to change your settings — the service isn't available in those locations and your other navigation features will work as usual.
