infor-
mationAbout HD Traffic
HD Traffic is a unique TomTom service providing real-time traffic information. 
For more information about TomTom services, go to tomtom.com/services.
In combination with IQ Routes, HD Traffic helps you plan the optimum route to your des-
tination taking into account the current local traffic conditions.
Your TomTom navigation module regularly receives information about the changing traf-
fic conditions. If traffic jams or other incidents are found on your current route, your nav-
igation module will offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
Safety Notice
Your TomTom navigation module contains a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with 
electrical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others, so in 
these cases remove your TomTom navigation module from the car dock.
As your TomTom navigation module includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near 
unprotected electrical units or in areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, 
such as hospitals and airplanes.
Using Traffic information
The traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving view. The sidebar informs you 
about traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic 
incident is located on your route.
The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the 
total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route.
The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic inci-
dents in the order they occur on your route.
The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and 
shows the distance to the next incident on your route.
To make the traffic sidebar more readable some incidents may not be 
shown. These incidents will always be of minor importance and only 
cause short delays.

The colour of the pointers, as shown below, gives you an instant indication of the type of 
incident:
Taking the fastest route
Your navigation module regularly looks for a faster route to your destination. If the traffic 
situation changes and a faster route is found, your navigation module will offer to replan 
your journey so you can use the faster route.
You can also set your navigation module to automatically replan your journey whenever 
a faster route is found. To apply this setting, tap Traffic settings in the Traffic menu.
To manually find and replan the fastest route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar.
Tip: If you find that tapping the sidebar opens the Main menu instead of the traffic menu, 
try tapping the sidebar with your finger resting on the edge of the screen.
2. Tap Minimise delays.
Your navigation module searches for the fastest route to your destination.
The new route may include traffic delays. You can replan the route to avoid all traffic 
delays, but a route which avoids all delays will usually take longer than the fastest route.
3. Tap Done.

possible route.
3. Tap Done.
Making commuting to work easier
The Home to work or Work to home buttons in the Traffic menu lets you check your route 
to and from work with one tap of a button. 
When you use either of these buttons, your device plans a route between your home and 
work locations and checks the route for possible delays.
The first time you use Home to work, you must set your traffic home and work locations.
You can now use the Home to work and Work to home buttons.
Note: The home location you set here is not the same as the home location you can set 
in the Settings Menu. In addition, the locations you use here do not have to be your actual 
home and work locations. If there is another route that you often travel, you can set Work/
Home to use these locations instead.
For example, to check for delays on your route home before you leave the office, do the 
following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar to open the Traffic menu.
2. Tap Show home-work traffic.
3. Tap Work to home.
The Driving View is shown and a message is displayed telling you about traffic incidents 
on this route. The Traffic sidebar also shows any delays.
Getting more information about an incident
To check for delays on your route, tap Show traffic on route in the Traffic menu. Your nav-
igation device shows a summary of the traffic delays on your route.
The total includes any delays due to traffic incidents and those due to busy roads, with 
information provided by IQ Routes.
Tap Minimise delays to check if you can reduce the delay.
