The route bar
The route bar is shown when you have planned a route. It has an arrival information panel at the
top, and a bar with symbols underneath.
Note: The distance ahead shown by the route ba depends on the overall length of your route.
The arrival information panel shows the following information:
 The estimated time that you will arrive at your destination.
 The length of time to drive to the destination from your current
location.
 A parking button is shown near the destination flag when parking is
available near your destination.
Tip: If your destination is in a different time zone, you see a plus
(+) or a minus (-) sign and the time difference in hours and half
hours in the arrival information panel. The estimated time of arrival
is the local time at your destination.
You can choose the information you see on the arrival information panel.
Traffic status - if your GO Mobile app isn't receiving any traffic
information, a symbol showing traffic with a cross appears underneath
the arrival information panel.
The bar uses symbols to show the following information:
 Petrol stations that are directly on your route.
 TomTom Traffic including heavy rain or snow.
 TomTom Speed Cameras and Danger Zones.
The symbols are in the order that they occur on your route. For traffic
incidents, the symbol for each incident alternates between showing the
type of incident and the delay in minutes. Select a symbol to see more
information about an incident or a speed camera. If a symbol is shown on
top of another symbol, selecting the symbols zooms in on the route bar
to show each symbol separately. You can then select a symbol.
The total time delay due to traffic jams, weather, and other incidents on
your route, including information provided by IQ Routes, is shown above
the symbols.
For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents.
The bottom of the route bar represents your current location and shows
the distance to the next incident on your route.
Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents
will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
The route bar also shows status messages, for example Finding fastest route or Playing route
preview.
Distances and the route bar
The distance ahead shown on the route bar depends on the length of your route, or the distance
remaining on your route.
 For remaining distances longer than 50 km or 30 miles, only the next 50 km or 30 miles is
shown. The destination icon is not shown.
