About traffic information

Using traffic information, your TomTom Connect can automatically adjust your route to minimise
any delays.

About TomTom HD Traffic
TomTom HD 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, HD Traffic helps you plan the optimum route to your destination
taking into account the current local traffic conditions.
Your TomTom Connect regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traf-
fic jams or other incidents are found on your current route, your TomTom Connect will offer to
replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
Safety Notice
Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices
such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.
If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in
areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.
Using traffic information
If you are using an RDS-TMC receiver to view TMC traffic information on your TomTom Connect,
connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the USB connector on your TomTom Connect.
The traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving view. The sidebar informs you about
traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic incident is located
on your route.
