Using TomTom Traffic

Traffic information has not been updated for at least 15 minutes.

Traffic information has not been updated for at least 30 minutes.

Traffic information has not been updated for at least 45 minutes.

Traffic information has not been updated for at least one hour.

No connection is available between your TomTom device and

your mobile.

If you have a route planned on your device and there are any incidents on

that route, the Traffic sidebar on the right side of the Driving View warns

you. An example of a Traffic sidebar with a traffic warning is shown on the

left. For information on the Traffic sidebar, see The Traffic sidebar (75).

In the example on the left there is a traffic jam on your route that will cause

an expected delay of 38 minutes, 20 miles ahead of you. 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 traffic 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.

Tip

: You can let your TomTom device automatically minimise traffic delays
