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 device regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic
jams or other incidents are found on your current route, your device 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 device,
connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the USB connector on your device.
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 locat-
ed on your route.
