When you are driving in France, the app gives you warnings about danger 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 app warns you about both danger zones and risk zones in the same way.
Important: Outside of France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you receive warnings about danger zones and risk zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning you receive changes.
Danger and risk zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other driving hazards:
Information about the location of danger and risk zones is continually updated by TomTom and other users and frequently sent to your app so that you always have the latest information. As more users report and confirm danger and risk zones then the more accurate the app becomes. You can also contribute by reporting new risk zones, or reporting whether a danger or risk zone is still present.
The danger and risk zones are shown on a road or a map which moves as you drive. The road view is shown when you open the app, and you can choose to see the map view or road view. You can view the map, and you can choose to show traffic jams on the map. If you want to use other apps while still being warned about danger zones, you can choose Overlay mode.
When you are approaching a zone and until you have passed the zone, the distance to the zone is shown, and you hear a warning sound. The background colour turns orange or red if you are driving faster than the speed limit permitted in the zone.
When you reach the zone you are asked about the status of the zone. You are asked only once about each danger zone, and asked every time about a risk zone.
If you pass a danger or risk zone and do not receive a warning you can report it to TomTom.
