Seeing the cameras is free. Avoiding them is the app.
Every camera on this map reads plates from one direction — the cone shows its approximate capture zone. BanditKin's private navigation uses those cones to route around cameras when you ask it to, with a strength slider you control. When a camera-free route doesn't exist, it says so honestly and falls back to the normal route.

Preferring not to be logged by a commercial surveillance network on public roads is a privacy preference — the app uses public camera-location data.
