TomTom Traffic
TomTom Traffic is a unique TomTom service providing real-time traffic information. Using the latest
traffic information in combination with IQ Routes, TomTom Traffic helps you plan the optimum
route to your destination. For more information about TomTom services and subscriptions, go to
tomtom.com/iphone
.
Important: TomTom Traffic is only supported for use with the iPhone and the iPad 3G and is not
supported for use with the iPod touch or the iPad without 3G.
To use TomTom Traffic, you need a continuous data connection (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or CDMA). Your
mobile operator may charge you for using a wireless data connection.
The TomTom app regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic
jams or other incidents are found on your route, the app can replan your route to minimize any
travel delays.
Tip: The TomTom app automatically downloads traffic updates and may incur mobile roaming
charges when traveling abroad.
To prevent this, tap Change Settings in the Main menu, then tap Advanced, then scroll down to
Data Services and tap the button to switch off the service.
Using traffic information
Tap the car in the top right-hand corner of the Driving View to show the traffic sidebar.
The traffic sidebar shows all the major traffic incidents as they occur on your route. Glowing dots
show where the incidents are located on the route.
