speed was.

Cameras subscribers. You can tap the Cancel button within 5 seconds to cancel the reporting of a

cameras are stored permanently. The scroll dots show which way you have swiped. 
 
Swiping the screen to the left changes the button back to the report button for mobile speed cameras.  
Remove a speed camera 
The Report Camera button changes to a Remove Camera button as you approach a speed camera 
and stays like this for 5 seconds after you pass its location.  
You can remove all types of cameras except average speed check cameras. 
Tap the Remove Camera button to report the removal of a speed camera to TomTom and other 
Speed Cameras subscribers. You can tap the Cancel button within 5 seconds to cancel the removal of 
a speed camera. 
 
If the camera warning is for a mobile speed camera and you didnt tap the Remove Camera button, 
you also see the message Was the camera still there? after you have passed the cameras reported 
location. Tap No if the camera is not at the location, or tap Yes if the camera is still at the location.
