Google Maps only shows the presence of speed cameras when planning a route. With what until we click on the icon “How to arrive” and we choose a destination will not show the location of speed cameras on each of the routes.
In the overview of the route and its alternatives, we will see the presence of fixed speed cameras (orange color) and mobile radars (blue color) when exploring the path. When enlarging the map, all speed cameras that we find along the route will appear. In addition, by clicking on a speed camera we will see when it has been notified
When starting Google Maps navigation will warn us of the presence of speed cameras with an alert, which will ring a few meters before arriving so that we have time to check if we are driving at the speed indicated by the road.

During navigation, we can also report the presence of speed cameras. The first way is ** by clicking on the icon of an existing speed camera ** to warn if it is still there. The second way is to signal the presence of a new mobile speed camera. To do this, you will need to touch the “Report” icon then in the “Mobile Radar” option.
