How Real-Time Traffic works

Real-Time Traffic provides reliable online traffic information while you drive. The traffic data is provided by TomTom and is updated every 2 minutes, helping you react to current road conditions.

Real-Time Traffic can help you:

  • see current traffic delays on your route,

  • avoid traffic jams when possible,

  • receive more accurate ETA information,

  • get automatic faster route suggestions if there is a delay ahead,

  • save travel time, fuel, and reduce emissions,

  • improve driving safety by being aware of traffic conditions in advance.

The service uses traffic information based on data from over 550 million GPS-enabled devices, helping provide accurate and up-to-date traffic conditions.

 

Internet connection is required

Real-Time Traffic is an online service and requires an internet connection to receive traffic updates. 

If your device is offline, you can still use downloaded offline maps for navigation, but live traffic information will not be updated.
