I run a TomTom app called 'poi delete' - it is set up to delete all French and Swiss cameras with one touch. Have a look at the PocketGPSWorld forum for more info.
I did test it to make sure and it does work - re-installing them was a pain though but got it working in the end.

Can they search your sat nav ( I mean switch it on and trawl through its contents ). Would this not be against the law there ?

Just taken this from the Tom-Tom website...apparently their just calling camera sites 'Danger Zones' and thats it. And the French plod will simply just accept this? Hmmmmm!
'TomTom had a meeting with the Road Safety Ministry to clarify the situation regarding new and upcoming legislation. As a result, TomTom is introducing a 100% compliant Danger Zones service available in a free download for compatible products.'

Just spoken to Tom Tom. If you have a 'Live' device there are no problems as the 'Danger Zone' updates will have downloaded automatically.
Danger zones basically alert you to a camera position within a 2km radius, it could be on your road, it could be on a nearby road. They have told me that this is in total compliance with the French laws and won't get you nicked!
If you have an older device (I mean really old) make sure you have turned off the French speed camera sites.
