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.

For the quickest route, select Minimise traffic delays [2][6]. TomTom

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

automatically update traffic at regular intervals when driving.
