Introduction
Thank you for choosing Traffic for TomTom MOBILE. This User Guide contains
instructions for using the traffic features of TomTom MOBILE, once the Traffic Plug-in
software has been installed on your phone, and you have successfully connected to
TomTom Traffic. In the Traffic section of MyTomTom you can find information on
setting up and testing GPRS, creating a TomTom Traffic account, and downloading
and installing the Traffic Plug-In software.
The Traffic menus of MOBILE can be easily accessed by using shortcut keys. In this
user guide the menus are indicated in bold with shortcut key combination, e.g.
Update traffic info [3][3] means traffic can be updated by pressing the 3-button
twice while driving.
Warnings
To receive traffic information from the TomTom Traffic server your phone needs a
working GPRS internet connection.
●The Traffic Plug-In has been designed to retrieve traffic information over a GPRS
connection. Do not use the Traffic Plug-In with a GSM Data connection, as this can
lead to substantial communication costs.
●The devices and networks that can be used to set up a GPRS mobile internet
connection are various. Though the TomTom website will provide tips on how to
connect, TomTom cannot provide support on setting up an internet connection on
your device. Contact your mobile telecom operator for support on setting up a GPRS
connection.
●Due to its dynamic nature, traffic information can by definition never represent the
full, current traffic situation. There are locations for which information is not available,
and some incidents might not be detected on time. Quality, coverage and reporting
times will differ from one region to the other. Pay attention to changes in usual traffic
routes, construction detours and other road conditions which may not be reported by
the TomTom Traffic Plug-In.
●Adhere to all applicable traffic laws and regulations at all times.
●Please note that traffic information is not available in all countries covered by
TomTom maps. Check www.tomtom.com for the latest on traffic coverage.
●TomTom will not collect information, such as GPS positions, from devices connected
to the TomTom Traffic Server.

Finding your way
Traffic information is available for main roads. When you plan a route, MOBILE will
calculate the quickest route to your destination, regardless of the presence of traffic
incidents on your route. TomTom MOBILE will however, inform you about traffic
incidents and allow you to plan around incidents.

MOBILE will calculate the quickest route taking into account traffic delays. Select
Recalculate original [2][4] to return to a route ignoring traffic delays.
Note: You can set TomTom MOBILE to always minimise traffic delays in Change
Traffic preferences [3][5]. TomTom MOBILE will then replan when a traffic incident
is reported, changed or cleared within 50 miles (80 km) from your route.
Note: MOBILE will use all roads to calculate the quickest route, but traffic information
is not available for all roads.
Note: In some cases the quickest route runs through a traffic jam
To avoid a single incident on your route completely, select Show traffic info
[3][2], select the incident with the joystick and select Avoid . MOBILE will now plan
a route avoiding this incident entirely. Avoided incidents are displayed in the map and
route scheme like this:
If you chose to minimise traffic delays on your previous route [2][6], this will apply
to the new route as well, but the selected incident will always be avoided completely.
To clear the avoid, open Show traffic info [3][2], select the incident again
and select Clear. MOBILE will now plan a new route without avoiding the incident.
Note: Use shortcut key [3][3] to update traffic information manually. In
Change Traffic Preferences [3][5] you can configure TomTom MOBILE to
automatically update traffic at regular intervals when driving.
