Frequently Asked Questions
Does TomTom show speed cameras?
Yes, TomTom GO devices and the AmiGO app include speed camera alerts based on TomTom's database and community reports. However, speed camera detection is a secondary feature in TomTom's broader navigation platform. Radarlo is built exclusively for speed camera, fixed radar, and EDS detection with a dedicated database of 1M+ points.
Is Radarlo better than TomTom for Turkey?
Yes. Radarlo covers all 81 Turkish provinces with dedicated EDS (Electronic Speed Enforcement) data and district-level hazard maps. TomTom's Turkey speed camera coverage is limited compared to its Western European database. For Turkish drivers, Radarlo provides significantly more comprehensive EDS and fixed radar data.
Is Radarlo free compared to TomTom?
Radarlo's core radar and speed camera alerts are free on iOS and Android. TomTom GO hardware devices require upfront purchase, and the AmiGO app is free but ad-supported with optional subscriptions for premium map data. For smartphone users, Radarlo provides more comprehensive dedicated radar alerts at no cost.
Can I use Radarlo with TomTom at the same time?
Yes. Radarlo runs independently in the background on your smartphone and delivers audio radar alerts while TomTom handles navigation — on a dedicated device or the AmiGO app. Professional drivers commonly use this combination for best-in-class radar coverage alongside TomTom navigation.
