About HD Traffic
Traffic
infor-
mation
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 des-
tination taking into account the current local traffic conditions.
Your TomTom navigation module regularly receives information about the changing traf-
fic conditions. If traffic jams or other incidents are found on your current route, your nav-
igation module will offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
Safety Notice
Your TomTom navigation module contains 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, so in
these cases remove your TomTom navigation module from the car dock.
As your TomTom navigation module 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 airplanes.
Using Traffic information
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 located on your route.
The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the
total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route.
The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic inci-
dents in the order they occur on your route.
The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and
shows the distance to the next incident on your route.
To make the traffic sidebar more readable some incidents may not be
shown. These incidents will always be of minor importance and only
cause short delays.
