In addition to helping us reach our destination by optimizing the route, some navigation applications have an advantage up their sleeve for those who like to press the accelerator: the speed camera alert. If you wish to have this function on the console of your car, two premises must be met: that the navigation application in question has a speed camera warning device and that it is compatible with Android Auto, after all, Android Auto does not not allow it to be a phone projection. That said, let’s review main applications with detection of legal speed cameras that you can use with Android Auto
Google Maps
If you don’t want to complicate the installation of more apps (because they come by default on your Android phone), Google Maps displays fixed speed cameras reported by the DGTamong many other functions offered by the navigation application of the big G. In this tutorial we explain how to configure them on your mobile so that, consequently, they are seen on the console of your car.

Waze
But Maps is not the only Google application: a decade ago it acquired Waze, one of its main competitors in navigation because of its polished interface and updated information, but it allows those who use the application warn of milestones on the road, such as speed cameras and the presence of the police. In this sense, if speed cameras are the priority for you, Waze is a more complete alternative.

TomTom AmiGO
If you bet on a classic and very experienced navigation service like TomTom, the AmiGo version is free and its a nice and clear interface shows both fixed and mobile speed cameras. What makes it different from the subscription-based TomTom Go Navigation app? Mainly that the second works offline.
