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 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 the internet. You can connect to the internet using one of the following methods:

• With a permanent connection directly from your GO. These navigation devices are called 'Always Connected' devices.
• With a connection using your smartphone. These devices are called 'Smartphone Connected' devices.
• Wi-Fi.

Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.
