Checking traffic incidents in your area

Get an overview of the traffic situation in your area, using the map. To find

local incidents and their details, do the following:

The Traffic sidebar

The Traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving View when

TomTom

Traffic

is switched on. The Traffic sidebar shows you the traffic

incidents on your route. It shows the following information:
• A symbol for each traffic incident in the order they occur along your

planned route.

• The estimated delay to the next traffic incident on your route.
• The distance from your current location to the next incident on your route.

An example of a Traffic sidebar is shown below.

In the example, the Traffic sidebar shows you that there are two incidents

ahead. Both incidents are traffic jams, the first is 15km ahead and is expected

to delay you by at least 51 minutes.

To re-plan your route to avoid these incidents, tap the Traffic sidebar to open

the TomTom

traffic

menu, then use

Minimise traffic delays

Browse map

1. Tap the TomTom

Traffic

button in the Main Menu on your device.

2. Tap

Browse map

The map browser screen is shown.

3. Tap the blue compass image in the top right of the screen.

The map centres itself on you current location, and any traffic incidents in

the area are shown as small symbols.

4. Tap on any traffic incident to get more information.

A second screen is shown that gives you detailed information about the

incident you chose. To display information about surrounding incidents

use the left and right arrows at the bottom of this second screen.
