I made use of one of my old tomtom devices, a GO 5000, for use on a motorcycle. It's mounted with USB power and I have a simple rain cover if necessary. I'm not so worried about theft of such an old device, so I leave it on the bike.

It's been fine for years. As the speed cameras don't change much in the UK I tend not to have a subscription, unless I'm going on a weekend trip or something, then I'll sign up for a month or so.

  • It has always shown speed cameras, even without a subscription. It just obviously didn't receive the updates on new locations, which is fine.
    This has been the case for years - The Go 5000 would keep the static speed camera database and use it.
  • Yesterday I did a routine update, first time for about 4 months. There was a software update. Since then, the speed cameras have gone completely.
    It appears they have been actively deleted by the update.

If you have similar, perhaps only let a map update happen.

Edit: My SIM card is working.
 
The functionality of TomTom models has changed, speed camera services are linked to a subscription.
When a speed camera subscription expires, the TomTom device stops giving alerts.
 
Same with my old VIA. I did not pay for the speed cameras, they were not updated but not deleted, but I think last year with a map update big brother deleted the speed camera files from my device. 🥹😁
