Introducing traffic information
You can receive traffic information in two ways:
TomTom HD Traffic
Traffic Message Channel (RDS-TMC)
Using traffic information, your TomTom GO can automatically adjust your route to mini-
mise any delays.
About TomTom HD Traffic
TomTom 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 GO regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If
traffic jams or other incidents are found on your current route, your GO will offer to replan
your route to try and avoid any delays.
Safety Notice
Some TomTom navigation devices contain 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.
If your device 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.
About RDS-TMC

Receiver.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information pro-
vided by the Traffic Message Channel.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not available in all countries. To check the availa-
bility of TMC services in your country, go to tomtom.com/traffic.
