The cameras are “spotted” and logged by other Tomtom users with blue tooth connection between their device and phone. When a given number of people have spotted a camera Tomtom put it on the data base, then people like me pay a monthly subscription to download and keep up to date. A down side is long term cameras in road works (like the section of the M1) show up for some months after the work is finished and the cameras are removed. You need to use a little common sense, given some 250 / 300 metres notice you can almost always see any cameras Tomtom warns of. Ah ha unmamfqlm I see you’re in the US. Not sure how it works in there but in the UK all cameras are painted bright yellow so you can see them easily. They are not hidden like in some countries. In short I would not be without it.
