Introducing the TomTom Danger Zones app

The TomTom Danger Zones app warns you about danger zones and risk zones that may be on or near the road you are driving along when you are in France.

Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mobile speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French law, speed camera locations are no longer reported but instead areas of danger are indicated as danger zones and risk zones.

A danger zone is a zone specified by French law. A risk zone is a temporary danger zone reported by users. The Danger Zones app warns you about both danger zones and risk zones in the same way.

Danger zones and risk zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other driving hazards:

• Specific locations are not available and a danger zone icon is shown as you approach the zone.
• The minimum length of the zone depends on the road type and is 300 m for roads in built-up areas, 2000 m (2 km) for secondary roads and 4000 m (4 km) for motorways.
• The location of one or more speed cameras, if any, can be at any point within the zone.
• If two danger zones are close to each other, the warnings can be merged into a single longer zone.

Information about the location of zones is continually updated by TomTom and other users and frequently sent to your app so that you always have the latest information. You can also contribute by reporting new risk zone locations.

When you are approaching a zone, a zone warning triangle appears on the horizon and you hear a warning sound. The sound you hear depends on whether you are currently exceeding the speed limit or not.

Note: You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone.

While subscribed to the TomTom Danger Zones service, your current speed and the speed limit are shown even when you are not approaching a danger zone.

Important: The Danger Zones app is available for the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, 4S and 5, and the iPad1, 2 and 3 with 3G + Wifi.

To use Danger Zones you need a continuous data connection (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or CDMA) and a subscription to the TomTom Danger Zones service. Your mobile operator may charge you for using a wireless data connection.
