About TomTom Traffic
TomTom Traffic is a unique TomTom service providing real-time traffic information. For more
information about TomTom services, go to tomtom.com/services.

destination taking into account the current local traffic conditions and the weather.
Your TomTom TRUCKER regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If
traffic jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your TRUCKER will
offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
To get TomTom services on your TRUCKER, you must be connected to TomTom services and logged
in to a MyTomTom account.
