You must deactivate radar warnings if they are in the satnav as in France other than that no probs

Every device only using a pre-installed database to show camera locations is allowed. You'll need a computer or some internet connection to update the database but your device can't actively detect any cameras. So it is allowed.

GPS devices with detection capabilities that can detect radar or laser emissions and thus detect any radar camera. These devices are forbidden, or the radar facility turned off in Spain
As TomTom devices aren't detecting radar cameras though but are dependent on a pre-installed database they aren't forbidden.
