After upgrading i seem to have a speed cam missing on a certain road now i may have manually deleted it by mistake in order to update a mobile speed cam, how do i get the speed cam back?

Or is it V8.3 that has a few speed cam bugs?

Which Speed Cams? TomTom's own or the PGPSW version? If it's the PGPSW ones, just download them again and reinstall them.

If your Using TomToms, they have been changed to be directional, so will only be annouced if they are effect your side of road.

The cameras are now directional and you wont see or hear an alert unless they are on your route.
You wont see the icon until you are within the alert distance (default 15s) and you will only get an audio alert if you are over 60% of the speed.
However I have found that some are not alerting at all any more. For example :-

A3 southbound by hook underpass where it goes from 2-3 lanes.
M25 clockwise on gantry immediatly after J10 entry slip.
M25 clockwise 2 gantrys before J12 exit.
M3 southbound between J2-3 at end of specs zone.

Complained to tomtom yesterday and just received the standard response about using the clear flash tool to reset the settings.

So Taximark if you are getting the same issue then log it with tomtom aswell and if they get enough complaints they will realise it is a real problem and fix it.

Same happened a couple of weeks ago when the traffic service went down. Spent an hour resetting the device and configuing it again without making a difference and then a couple of days later they acknowledge the problem. So I am not going to reset my device yet again.

I somehow knew you were going to say that :P

Personally I prefer to raise a question every time there is a problem. I doubt it but it might get them thinking about the reliability of their entire system.

Graeme, Have a read through This Thread, I have tried running at various speed towards cameras and came to the conclusion this 60% figure has no bearing on camera warnings at all. The idea was to be within 60% of the rated speed for the camera rather than 60% over it! - either way, the 60% is a red herring - Mike

I have also upgraded to V8.3 and the latest maps. TomTom Speed cameras are not reporting at all for me now. If I use Home to access TomTom services and try and add a speed camera then the locations on the existing cameras used to be displayed. Now their are no cameras shown. I have reported this to TomTom and they say that they are a few issues and they are looking into it. I loaded the previous application and loaded the new speed camera file and everything was Okay. Once the new application was loaded the spedd camera disappeared again. Unfortunately to use the new maps the new app must be on the device. So it is down to TomTom.

If TomTom have at last made their speed camera database directional can we look forward to the PGPSW database following suite ?
