Not all apps or devices for viewing speed cameras are legal in Italy. However, if you use Google Maps there is a fairly simple way to receive a notification when you pass an area where there may be a speed camera. In this article we explain all the steps.
They have been circulating in recent days various guides online which reveal a new Google Maps feature. In fact, according to these indications it seems that the Google maps app is now capable of also report speed cameras. We’ll say it right away. It’s not like that. Maps has not actually implemented the possibility of receiving warnings about the presence of speed cameras along the route. Yet there is actually a way to see a notification pop up.
Just a premise. In Italy the tools for reporting speed cameras are not always legal. The difference is actually subtle.

As the La Legge Per Tutti portal explains, these are the places where electronic speed control signs are already displayed.
