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 VIO regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your VIO will offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
If there is a traffic incident on your planned route, your VIO checks to see if a faster route is available. An alternative route is shown on the map, and the time you save is shown at the top of the device map. To accept the alternative route, just steer towards the quicker route and your VIO will select it.
To get TomTom services on your VIO, your phone must have a mobile data connection.
Important: If you are outside of the area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for extra roaming charges while using TomTom services.
Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.
