TomTom Quick Start Guide

Getting started with Red Light & Speed Trap Alerts for your TomTom is quick and easy!

Setting up your TomTom to get Audible Warnings

To get audible warning from your TomTom and Red Light & Speed Trap Alerts, just follow these quick set-up instructions. Note: These instructions and screens may not exactly match your TomTom, but can serve as a general guideline on the use of your Spot It Out product.

Once you've completed the download and installation of Red Light & Speed Trap Alerts you are ready to start!

From the main screen choose "Options"
Once in the "Options" section you may need to use the forward arrow  to find "Manage POIs". Click on "Manage POIs".  
Next click on "Warn when near POI"  
Now select your POI category. Click the down scroll arrow to see the list of POI categories. Continue scrolling down until you see "Spot It Out - Red Light..." and similar POI categories. Choose one.  
Next you'll be asked when you'd like to be warned. This controls how close you need to be to a warning location. The default is 300 yards.  
Next you can select an audible warning. If you select "Spoken Warning" you hear the name of the POI category, "Spot It Out Red Light Camera". You can choose a Sound Effect like a Bell, Beep, Boing, Bugle, Cow, Cuckoo or Polite sound for a warning. Or you can customize your warning by selecting "Type in your own warning" and the word(s) you type will be said.  
The final step is to decide if you want the warnings only if on your route. You will get audible warnings even if you haven't selected a route. We recommend leaving the "warnings only on route off", but keep the warning range fairly close. If you set the range at a long distance you could get warnings for locations not on the road you are currently traveling.  
Repeat these steps for each POI category for which you want an audible warning. Your map screen should now get both a visual and audible warning as you travel.
