Can I download speed cameras on a new i30 as these are not included on the sat nav supplied

Hello Cliff,

Unsure about updating the built-in sat-nav but you can get a Tom Tom Speed Camera app for smartphones.  Simple little app that knows about speed cameras and traffic issues (certainly in the UK, unsure about elsewhere).  I tested it only yesterday - it shows speed and gives up to 25 seconds warning of a camera.  Works with the smartphone screen switched on or off, so you could use the built-in i30 sat-nav with the Tom Tom app just handling the warnings.  It's also free!

Hope this helps,

Paul.

I've not heard of a TomTom speed camera app not something that's available here from what I can see on the App Store so possibly region specific

TomTom do have the Go Mobile app which has speed camera notifications but you only get 75km's free a month.

Thanks for that Paul, doesn't appear to be an available option in the Apple Store that I can find, might be Android only

The latest model Hyundai and KIA cars in the UK can use the Tom Tom connected services where your smartphone is tethered as a WiFi hub. This gives your sat nav speed camera and traffic displays that are surprisingly bang up to date.

I no longer use my smartphone for that purpose - I kept forgetting to take it with me when I parked the car. I bought a TP-Link 4G LTE mobile wifi unit which is left permanently connected to the power socket in the car fitted with a 12 month data only 12GB SIM which solved my problem.

However - on my KIA it does not change the speed limit display on the sat nav which is so far out of date it is worthless. For example the speed limit of a road near where I live was changed from 50 to 40 mph nearly 3 years ago - my 12 month old car sat nav still shows the old 50 mph.

I have the same issue with the built in GPS in my i30 SR. The GPS in my previous Calais was the same. Several local speed limits reduced years ago, but not updated on the GPS. 

Using Android Auto for navigation doesn't really help as thet gives you no speed limits at all and some areas seem to have very limited speed limit signs.

I've had a play with Waze recently & it seems to have the current speed limits up to date - displays them clearly on my phone's screen & changes colour when they are exceeded.

Pretty sure it also displays speed cameras & also mobile ones if they are reported by other users.
The app is crowd supported so any users can report an incident with the tap of a couple of buttons whilst they are on the road.

App available for both Android & Apple

Naturally some of your data/details will be used by Waze to keep things up to date - so if you have any privacy concerns, maybe this app not for you?

I'm a big fan of Waze. It was a must for our 15 months in Indonesia, particularly when driving in and around Jakarta. For international tourism, I use Maps.Me for offline, cost-free navigation.

Built-in car satnav can't compete.
