I July I set up my Tom Tom with PocketGPS speed camera warnings and there was a very useful table of what distance to set for what speed to get a set time (- eg what distance for a20mph camera to get a 20 second warning). That Sat Nav was stolen and I'm setting up my new one but cannot find the table anywhere - where is it? Question

It's about 3 quarters of the way down the TomTom Installation Guide

Even easier than that.... You'll notice the figures in the 20 second warning column equates to roughly 10 yards for each mile/hour.
So you can just use 200 yards for 20mph, 300 yards for 30, 400 yards for 40 etc.

Double the above figures for mobile sites.

Thanks.
What would you recommend as a distance for red light cameras? (given that I would be planning to stop anyway - but it's helpful to know which ones to be very careful about not going on amber etc)

Thanks for the Advice

PS love the voice warnings - so much easier to know the limit etc and know what it's about with clear voices (I use Nick) than beeps and bells and whistles
