Google Maps can be your best ally when you travel, whether you do it in Europe or go to another country. The map application offers many possibilities, since it allows you to search for nearby restaurants to draw routes with several stops, so it is essential to facilitate the process of going on vacation, and even more so if there is an “exit operation”.
In these cases, if you are traveling by car, it is advisable to share the location with our family members so that they know that nothing happened to us while driving. However, Google Maps hides many more options, and one of them makes the application warn when the user approaches a position with a fixed radar or a mobile radar, which can avoid an occasional fine.
This, together with other Maps options, such as avoiding tolls or planning departure and arrival times, can be the best help to avoid stress during the trip and also save a few dollars.
Radar Warnings
One of the best things about the Google app is that it incorporates the ability to display different layers of content, such as traffic or terrain. In this case, the one that interests us is the first, and it can be modified by clicking on the layers button located at the top right. By simply activating the traffic information layer we can see the speed cameras that have been detected on the route we are going to follow.
Radars can be displayed in different ways depending on their type. On the one hand, fixed speed cameras will be displayed in red, while mobile speed cameras will be displayed in blue. By clicking on their respective icons, you can access information about the last time a user notified their presence.

In fact, mobile speed cameras appear because other road users warn them via the application’s notification system. This is very useful because it will help the user see if it is recent information or not. In addition, in navigation mode, when the user approaches the radar, the voice of Google Maps will indicate the distance until reaching it, which will greatly facilitate vigilance.
Another fact to take into account is the tolls. When choosing the route, if you click on the menu at the top right, you can access a section called Options, in which you can activate a function that will avoid tolls on the routes, which can also help us save money.
