Real-Time Traffic is a paid add-on for Sygic Truck & Caravan Navigation that provides live traffic information during navigation. Real-Time Traffic works alongside offline navigation and helps you identify traffic delays, road closures, road works, accidents, and other traffic-related incidents on your route. An internet connection is required to receive live traffic updates.
You can purchase it either on the Sygic website or directly in the Sygic Store within the app. It is available as a yearly or lifetime purchase. Coverage may vary by country and region. The list of supported countries is available in the product description.
For information about purchasing and activating Real-Time Traffic, see the related articles on how to buy and how to activate Premium and add-ons in Sygic Truck & Caravan Navigation.
How traffic information is displayed
When Real-Time Traffic is active, a traffic indicator appears in the upper-left corner of the navigation screen, showing the total delay on the current route caused by traffic conditions and incidents. Traffic-affected sections are also highlighted on the route progress bar at the bottom of the screen, providing a quick overview of where delays are located along the route.
Traffic conditions are displayed on the map and on the route progress bar using colored road sections:
yellow: moderate traffic congestion
red: heavy traffic congestion
Traffic incidents are marked with icons on the map and in the traffic overview (available by tapping the traffic indicator in the upper-left corner of the navigation screen). Depending on the available traffic data, these icons may indicate accidents, slow traffic, road closures, road works, obstacles on the road, and other traffic-related events.
Small arrows within the colored road sections indicate the direction of travel affected by the incident or restriction.
If the application finds a better route that avoids a traffic incident, congestion, or road closure, it may suggest an alternative route.
