TomTom Speed Cameras and Danger Zones.
Rest stops directly on your route.
You can choose the information you see on your route.
The symbols are in the order that they occur on your route. For traffic
incidents, the symbol for each incident alternates between showing the
type of incident and the delay in minutes. Select a symbol to see more
information about a stop, an incident or a speed camera. If a symbol is
shown on top of another symbol, selecting the symbols zooms in on the
route bar to show each symbol separately. You can then select a symbol.
The total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your
route, including information provided by IQ Routes, is shown above the
symbols.
For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents.
The bottom of the route bar represents your current location and shows
the distance to the next incident on your route.
Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents
will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
The route bar also shows status messages, for example Finding fastest route or Playing route
preview.
Distances and the route bar
The distance ahead shown on the route bar depends on the length of your route, or the distance
remaining on your route.
For remaining distances longer than 50 km (31 miles), only the next 50 km (31 miles) is shown.
The destination icon is not shown.
Tip: You can scroll the route bar to see your whole route (not available on iOS).
For remaining distances between 10 km (6 miles) and 50 km (31 miles), the complete distance is
shown. The destination icon is shown fixed at the top of the route bar.
For remaining distances of less than 10 km (6 miles) the complete distance is shown. The
destination icon moves down towards the chevron symbol as you get nearer to your destination.
The top half of the route bar shows twice the distance of the bottom half, as shown in the following
examples:
A remaining distance of 50 km on the route bar is split into 34 km (21 miles) at the top and 16
km (9 miles) at the bottom.
A remaining distance of 10 km on the route bar is split into 6.6 km (4 miles) at the top and 3.3
km (2 miles) at the bottom.
The route bar is constantly updated as you drive.
The quick menu
To open the quick menu, select the current location symbol or the speed panel in the guidance
view.
You can then do any of the following:
Mark a location
Change a speed limit
Avoid a blocked road
See your current location or your latitude/longitude if not on a named road.
