About TomTom Traffic
TomTom Traffic is a TomTom service providing real-time traffic information.
In combination with historical road usage data, TomTom Traffic helps you plan the optimum route
to your destination taking into account the current local traffic conditions and the weather.
Your TomTom PRO regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic
jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your PRO will offer to
replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
To get TomTom services on your PRO, you must first connect your Driver Terminal.
Note: PRO devices using a WEBFLEET connection to access TomTom services require a
subscription that supports LIVE services.
