Yes, there is a setting, when you enable warn near POIs, it gives you an
option of setting warn only when in direction of travel (or something like
that), I must admit I leave it in the both direction mode, as a lot of
cameras are spun round to cover either carriage way.

TT can be set to warn if cameras are on the selected route only, else they are
warned if\line within x yards. It does not have directional capabilities.\line
Anyway, you need to be warned about oncoming camera since they can be set to
record oncoming traffic.
ie, Truvelo as opposed to the old Gatso type.
