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.
For more information and detailed steps on how to disable and enable speed camera alerts on your sat nav, see: Enabling and disabling speed camera warnings
Note : If you have an in-dash navigation system, speed cameras might still show on your map if you disable them.
To completely remove speed cams from your in-dash navigation system, you have to uninstall them.

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, Liechtenstein, Cyprus, North Macedonia and Kuwait
Speed camera warning systems are not permitted under local law in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Cyprus, North Macedonia and Kuwait. TomTom does not offer its speed camera warning service in these countries.
Note that in some countries, including Switzerland, the law may go beyond the use of speed camera warnings and may also prohibit carrying or possessing a device capable of providing such warnings. Breaches may lead to fines, confiscation of the device and, in some cases, criminal proceedings. Before traveling, check the applicable local rules with the relevant authorities. You are responsible for complying with the laws of the country in which you drive.
