The GARMIN speed cams will automatically alert.

The ones from this site need you to have proximity alerts active - but I think this is the default setting.

Traffic alerts: This again will be 'automatic' but....

If you are using the internal string aerial supplied on the GTM unit then you will need to have this positioned along the windscreen. However using this aerial is problematic in the UK due to low transmitted power levels. (Have a look through the forum for ways to improve this - if you can conect it to an external aerial it will work much more reliably).

The triangle on the main screen (bottom RHS) will be blue if traffic info has been received. You will get a red warning triangle on the map/navigation screen if there is a delay on your planned route or, if you aren't following a planned route, if there are delays on the road you are driving on.
