Using TomTom Traffic
Traffic information has not been updated for at least 15 minutes.
Traffic information has not been updated for at least 30 minutes.
Traffic information has not been updated for at least 45 minutes.
Traffic information has not been updated for at least one hour.
No connection is available between your TomTom device and
your mobile.
If you have a route planned on your device and there are any incidents on
that route, the Traffic sidebar on the right side of the Driving View warns
you. An example of a Traffic sidebar with a traffic warning is shown on the
left. For information on the Traffic sidebar, see The Traffic sidebar on page
76.
In the example on the left there is a traffic jam on your route that will cause
an expected delay of 38 minutes, 20 km ahead of you. To find the quickest
route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the Traffic sidebar.
Tip: If you have trouble tapping the Traffic sidebar and the Main Menu is
being displayed instead of the traffic menu, try tapping your finger half on
the Traffic sidebar and half off the screen.
2. Tap Minimize traffic delays.
Your device looks for the quickest route to your destination.
It is possible that the new route may also include traffic delays, or may
even be the same route as before. You can re-plan the route to avoid all
delays, but this new route will take longer than the quickest route already
shown.
3. Tap Done.
Tip: You can let your TomTom device automatically minimize traffic delays
for you. To do this, see Changing traffic preferences on page 76.
