Switzerland and POI’s
Discussion
this was posted on another forum last June.... I would suggest you remove them from the device just incase:
"Regarding travel in or through Switzerland:
We are aware that the Federal Highways Department (ASTRA) has issued a statement related to GPS navigation and safety camera alerts. However, TomTom develops all of its products and services with ease of use and safety as a key priority and we believe that our safety camera solution enhances road safety and security in Switzerland. We believe our safety camera services are fully legal to use and to sell. As a matter of course however, we are working with ASTRA to fully understand their view on the current legal situation.
To ensure that your TomTom product meets ASTRA requirements we advise you to remove Swiss safety cameras from your device when travelling in or through Switzerland."
And the Swiss do on the spot fines too.... just don't speed and you'll be fine!!

Thanks for that,
Have you ever heard of anyone actually being stopped and having their device inspected.
I’ve never driven through Switzerland before, just wondered what the police attitude is like. It will be obvious that the system (GPS) is being used and they’ll be aware that the car is British and therefore would normally use the capability.
That said, I have no intention of speeding and will make sure there are no Camera POI’s loaded for Switzerland.
Cheers,
Simon.
