Hi @SPN
Welcome to the community! It does not look like the maps have been installed on your TomTom START 52. I would recommend that you update the maps first using MyDrive Connect. The map version should be v10.60.
Once installed do a factory reset, check for any new speed cameras updates again(MyDrive Connect).
Test the device on a planned route and see check if it alerts you for fixed cameras.

ah!! the topic was started as a discussion so you could not see the option to mark the post as answered.
I have changed that now and it should be visible on your side as well. The prompt is just at the bottom of every post/comment.
Thanks, Vikram

Welcome to the site....
Also Check... Tap 4Dot (.... Menu)
Are any 'Sound Icons' slashed through ??? it’s really easy to turn off a Sound Icon when swiping through the Menus

Maybe @VikramK or @lampard the Forum Moderators will pick this up Tomorrow and check/correct your Speed Cam Account status.....

For general improvement using the Tomtom Speed Cam Database over the default settings
Always use a Computer voice...
Serena or Malcolm in the UK
Also....
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'
'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 set up a Wide Traffic/Route Bar

Was your Start 52 originally supplied with the Europe map if it was I would suggest that you load that map onto the unit as well. It will go on the extra memory card and will have the advantage of protecting you from the No Maps Found situation. With 2 maps on the unit when you do the map updates, which you should do one at a time, then should you have a problem during a map update and so lose the map from the unit the other map being there enables you to run the unit normally and so can reload the lost map.

Vikram, I can't figure how to mark your reply as the Answer?
