For years TomTom AmiGO was a popular free app for speed camera alerts, and its overlay mode let drivers see alerts on top of other apps. TomTom has since replaced AmiGO with the TomTom app, and its support pages state that the overlay mode has been discontinued and will not return.

Why drivers switch to Ghost
Ghost is built for exactly that use: keep Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze in front, and Ghost warns you in the background — with a tone, on the lock screen, on CarPlay, on Android Auto and on your Apple Watch.
