My brand new device only shows speed cameras if I am following a pre planned route. If I am just driving around it doesn't show where the cameras are and there are no alert noises to show if I'm inadvertently speeding.

Hi @David66
Welcome to the community!
The device is designed to alert for speed cameras when driving on a planned route.
In some rare scenarios it has been observed when the device is connected to TomTom Services and updating the locations for speed cameras over the air, it might alert you on a non-planned route as well.

Hi
@David66
Welcome to the site....
For general improvement using the Tomtom Speed Cam Database over the default settings
Always use a Computer voice...
From the main screen... Tap (.... Menu) -> Setting -> Sounds & Warnings...
Set... 'Warning Type' to... Read Allowed... (Important... Needs a Computer Voice set in the Voices menu)
Speed Cameras & Hazards... Set to ON
The next 10 Setting ALL set to Always
The next 4 Settings ALL set to ON
The device will now say....
'Fixed Camera'
'Mobile Hot Spot'
'Average Speed Camera Zone'
'Red-light Camera'
'Accident Black-spots
‘Spoken Traffic delays’
Speed Cams
If you keep a check on the Traffic-bar... The device gives you a visual Warning of the next Fixed or Mobile Speed Camera many miles before you reach the camera
Even more info if in the 'Setting menus' you setup a Wide Traffic/Route Bar
______________________
On My GO Premium a Speed Panel will display on the Lower Info bar with or without a route planned....
But if you have a route planned you will also see the The name of the street you are driving on + The Report a Speed cam button
______________________
See Copy&Paste from a previous post of mine....Out today... Using my GO 520, I drove around without route planned
Using the 2D, 3D and the North up Overview Maps
In all three Modes, the device warned of.....
Exceeding the Speed Limit
Fixed Speed cameras
Mobile Speed camera Hot Spots
Average speed camera zones (Motorway)
I can't see any reason why.....
Approaching Stationary Queuing Traffic
Red Light Camera... Wouldn't also Show
Any 3rd Party POI you have loaded and set to display on the Map... All display the Tomtom generic Icon OK

Thanks for the answer. Does the same apply regarding warning sounds if you exceed the speed limit, or will they work on a non-planned route as well ?0

Hi David
Speed limits are derived from the installed maps. Driving on a planned route is required for the speed limits to work.
