About TomTom Traffic
TomTom Traffic is a TomTom service providing real-time traffic information.
In combination with historical road usage data, TomTom Traffic helps you plan the optimum route
to your destination taking into account the current local traffic conditions and the weather.
Your TomTom GO SUPREME regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If
traffic jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your TomTom GO
SUPREME will offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
Important: When you approach a faster alternative route, you get a warning in the route bar and
you can see the alternative route in both the guidance view and the map view. To accept a faster
route, just steer towards the alternative route as you approach it and your device will select it.
To get TomTom services on your TomTom GO SUPREME, you must be connected to the internet. You
can connect to the internet using one of the following methods:
With a permanent connection directly from your TomTom GO SUPREME. These navigation
devices are called "Always Connected" devices.
With a connection using your smartphone. These devices are called "Smartphone Connected"
devices.
Wi-Fi.
Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.
Tip: To access settings and the status of your services quickly, select the menu bar at the top of
the main menu. In portrait mode, you can also tap the icons down the right-hand side.
About RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC), also known as RDS-TMC, transmits traffic information as a radio
signal and is available free of charge in many countries.
TMC is not a TomTom service, but is available when using the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver.
Note: TMC is not available in all countries. To check the availability of TMC services in your
country, go to tomtom.com/5826.
TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by TMC.
Looking at traffic on the map
Traffic incidents are shown on the map. If several traffic incidents overlap, the highest priority
incident is shown. For example, a roadblock is higher priority than road work or a closed lane.
