About TomTom Traffic
TomTom Traffic is a TomTom service providing real-time traffic information.
In combination with IQ Routes, TomTom Traffic helps you plan the optimum route to your
destination taking into account the current local traffic conditions and the weather.
Your TomTom GO regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic
jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your GO 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 GO, 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.
