Using TomTom Traffic
If you have a route planned, the traffic sidebar warns you about any traffic
incidents on your route.
In this example, there is a traffic jam on your route 9 miles ahead that will
cause an expected delay of 38 minutes.
To find the quickest route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the Traffic sidebar.
Tip: If you have trouble tapping the Traffic sidebar and the Main Menu is
being displayed instead of the traffic menu, try tapping your finger half on
the Traffic sidebar and half off the screen.
2. Tap Minimize delays.
Your device looks for the quickest route to your destination.
It is possible that the new route may also include traffic delays, or may even
be the same route as before. You can re-plan the route to avoid all delays,
but this new route will take longer than the quickest route already shown.
3. Tap Done.
Retrieving traffic info...
With TomTom Traffic, there are two ways to update the traffic information:
• Tap Update traffic info in the Traffic menu.
• Set Traffic to be updated automatically at regular intervals.
To do this, tap Change Traffic preferences in the Traffic menu. Select
Automatically update traffic info while on route, then tap Done.
You are then asked if you want to limit how often Traffic is updated.
If you choose not to limit how often Traffic is updated, then TomTom will
send updated traffic information to your NAVIGATOR as soon as it is
available.
If you choose to limit how often Traffic is updated, you are asked to set a
time.
TomTom saves this time limit and sends new traffic information at the
interval you set. If there is no new traffic information, then TomTom will not
