If you are driving on a route and you have ticked Warn When On Route you will only see cameras on your side of the road.

But note that if you have cameras Enabled this will show all the cameras, but will only warn on those as above.

However, "Warn only on route" only warns you when TTG is navigating you to a destination. With this ticked, if you are driving without having a route planned, and just using TTG to show your current position, it won't warn you of any cameras.

Also, even when on a navigated route, you may miss cameras which can face either way on single carriageway roads, or cameras on the central reservation of dual carriageways.

Because of this, most people discussing it here seem to leave this box unticked. This will result in a few erroneous warnings (like cameras on nearby side-roads) but it's better to be safe than sorry!

Yes - try the A14 between Huntingdon and Cambridge!

However, using spoken warnings, this is ok - even though you get a few cameras on the other carriageway.
