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 Rider regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic jams,
heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your Rider will offer to replan your
route to try and avoid any delays.
Important : When you approach a faster alternative route, you get a warning in the route bar and you
can see the alternative route in both the guidance view and the map view. To accept a faster route,
just steer towards the alternative route as you approach it and your device will select it.
To get TomTom services on your Rider, you must be connected to TomTom services and logged into
a TomTom account.
Note : TomTom services are not available on all devices.
Note : Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.
