Found this for free and it's amazing it tells you what street you are in, how fast you are going, the speed for that particular road, when your approaching speed cameras including temporary/hidden or if police are nearby, verbally warns you if you are approaching the limit. It's saved me so many times, get it now for free before they start charging :-)

WARNINGS:
WHAT TYPE OF WARNINGS DOES THE APP GIVE?
Our aim is to give warnings for all situations that can be dangerous, including any roadside cameras, which can result in a fine or other penalty, such as licence points.
The types of warnings can be divided into camera warnings and safety warnings.
Camera warning types are as follows:
- fixed speed camera: a static camera, which is activated based on driven speed
- red light camera: a static camera, which is activated based on traffic light colour, in some areas combined with speed
- average speed zone: two or more static cameras, which measure your driven speed over a stretch of road and is activated when the average speed at the last camera is over the limit
- traffic restriction cameras: a static camera, which is activated for a number of restrictions (no-right-turn cameras, bus-lane cameras, etc.)
- speed enforcement zone: multiple static cameras, spread over a stretch of road, which are activated based on driven speed (not average speed)
- mobile speed camera: a temporary camera (laser or radar, handheld or on a tripod), which is activated based on driven speed (confirmed camera)
- likely mobile camera: a mobile speed camera (not yet confirmed).
Safety warning types are as follows:
- speeding: a warning when you exceed the legal speed limit
- jam ahead: a warning when you are approaching a traffic jam moving at a slower speed than the traffic driving towards it
- danger zones (only when driving in France): a warning for a potentially dangerous stretch of road, including fixed speed cameras
- risk zones (only when driving in France): a warning for a temporary potentially dangerous stretch of road, including mobile speed camera (confirmed camera)
- likely risk zones (only when driving in France): a warning for a temporary potentially dangerous stretch of road, including mobile speed cameras (not yet confirmed)

sorted byThe 2 scenarios are not analogous. With shoplifting there is always a cost to someone. Either the shopkeeper loses revenue or (possibly and) prices go up and everyone suffers. In many instances of driving faster than 70, nobody suffers as a consequence.
Going faster than the speed limit is no more intrinsically dangerous than driving at the speed limit is automatically safe. Certainly, going faster than the speed limit does not automatically incur a penalty as there is often a margin of error allowed.
You could perhaps consider when the 70 limit was introduced and why? You might also consider countries where there is no limit on certain stretches of road.
I'm not advocating speeding. I generally abide by the law because I respect the concept of the rule of law, not because I agree with every piece of legislation. I also know lots of people who choose to speed under certain circumstances. The comparison with shoplifting is nonsensical.
If only there was an app you could download which would warn YOU when you're about to post a idiotic and sanctimonious comment?
Would you shoplift if you had an app that scrambled cctv?
Because my friend, sometimes the law is an ass!! Unless you're a tree hugger, you will know that the majority of speed traps are simply there to generate money. Take this area as an example, we have cash generator vans all over the roads where there have been no accidents EVER yet I have never seen them near schools where they may actually be a deterrent... go figure :/
This isn't the TT Sat Nav app. And how can it be "overpriced" if it's free (just like Google Maps/Waze)? (edited)
Download it at waze.com/get
Nothing wrong with the reviews. You must be looking at the wrong app. (edited)
Must be great to be perfect, you're my hero!
Beautifully said. My mum is a good example of this. She always does 60mph in a 70mph zone, and 35mph in a 40mph zone. Yet she'll happily do 30mph in a 30mph zone, with parked cars either side of the road, and kids playing in the street. I always tell her, if a small child runs out behind one of those cars, the chances of not killing it, or seriously injuring someone is very slim indeed. I'm not trying to single her out, this is how many people drive thinking their being safe. But 30mph can be way too fast for some scenarios, and 90mph no problem. Anyone can drive fast, it's knowing when to slow down.
Have you got a link for this great sounding app?
This is the speed camera app, not the main TT maps app. It does what Google Maps won't do yet - warn as you approach speed cameras and can be configured to ONLY warn you if you are actually speeding. Works well with and complements Google Maps IMHO, with an overlay on the screen. This TT app has always been free, as I recall.
Also works in average speed camera zones, telling you you average speed and warning when you are over the average speed limit. This is less reliable as the average speed cameras tend to move around a lot (with roadworks) and it take a while for the app to catch up as folk report and re-report it. (edited)
Use your eyes and read the speed limit signs! These can be seen full size and not on a small phone screen!!
Can't tell if you're serious... the App has access to your GPS so it knows where you are. All it has to do is time how long it takes you to move between two points to know your speed. In many ways this is a more accurate approach than your car's own speedomoter.
Highways Agency Digital Enforcement Cameras 'HADECS 3' Cameras now operate 24/7 on motorways even when there is no 'red ring' speed showing, or national speed limit sign, even when the enforcement signs are off. The M4 J19/J20 East / Westbound cameras (this one is obscured by trees) Hadecs 3 cameras are set at 'zero tolerance' i.e 70+10%+2, so 79mph and above will get you a ticket.
Mine was at 81Mph, on a clear mid-summer June evening at 9pm on a Sunday, with cruise control on, on an empty motorway.
The tell-tale way to spot a HADECS 3 is coming up, is about 100m before the Smart Motorway Gantry with the 3/4 RED Rings, there will be 3 surveillance cameras on a pole, each camera focused on each of the red rings. Theses cameras optically read the current speed being enforced and relay this back to the shoe box sized Hadecs 3 Camera that sits to the left of the Smart Motorway Gantry.
If you see a pole like this with 3 cameras and Motorway Gantry ahead (even if it is off-can't emphasize that enough), check your speed, the Hadecs 3 will be enforcing the National speed limit 70mph-24/7. (edited)
I like Waze but find it drains my battery when running. Hopefully this Tom Tom is just as good but less power consumption.
Maybe reading the road signs and awareness of surroundings will inform you on the speed limit.
I've added it to the description.
Haven't tried the feature in Waze in a while, but when I last tried Waze was less reliable and couldn't warn only if I was speeding, as I recall. And as above with Google Maps, I have used this speed cameras app to complement Waze (edited)
Yes the link is in the post
Ahh, spotted it now, thanks.
yet to find anything better
Google maps is good but it's just lacking any speed warnings or any speed info what so ever.
I use Waze also. I find that it saves me so much time and I've learnt so many new routes using Waze.
I've actually dedicated an old phone just for Waze.
Still hear OP for posting. (edited)
I use this on my phone, audio overlay to the cars sat nav. Waze will be irrelevant to anyone with Nav in their car already, which is where this is really useful. (edited)
