About TomTom Traffic
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 GO PROFESSIONAL regularly receives information about the changing traffic
conditions. If traffic jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your GO
PROFESSIONAL will offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
Important: When you approach a faster alternative route, you get a warning in the route bar and you
can see the alternative route in both the guidance view and the map view. To accept a faster route,
just steer towards the alternative route as you approach it and your device will select it.
To get TomTom services on your GO PROFESSIONAL, you must be connected to the internet. You
can connect to the internet using one of the following methods:
With a permanent connection directly from your GO PROFESSIONAL. These navigation devices
are called 'Always Connected' devices.
With a connection using your smartphone. These devices are called 'Smartphone Connected'
devices.
Wi-Fi.
Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.
About RDS-TMC

country, go to tomtom.com/5826.
TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by TMC.
Looking at traffic on the map
Traffic incidents are shown on the map. If several traffic incidents overlap the highest priority incident
is shown - for example, a road closure is higher priority than road works or a closed lane.
