About TomTom Traffic
TomTom Traffic is a unique TomTom service providing real-time traffic information. For more
information about TomTom services, go to tomtom.com/services
.
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 navigation app regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic
jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your navigation app 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.
The TomTom BRIDGE uses either a permanent connection or a smartphone connection to
connect to TomTom services
.
Important: If use your smartphone to connect to TomTom Services and you are outside of the
area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for extra roaming charges while using
TomTom Services.

Looking at traffic on the map

incident is shown - for example, a road closure is higher priority than road works or a closed lane.
