How TomTom HD Traffic works

TomTom HD Traffic uses a revolutionary combination of traffic information. Anonymous data from connected devices provides TomTom with information on where, in which direction and at what speed all these users are travelling throughout the road network. This real-time data is combined with other existing quality traffic information sources, resulting in the most complete and reliable traffic information.

How do I contribute to TomTom HD Traffic

TomTom uses HD Traffic information to offer you the quickest way to your destination. This dynamic route guidance takes into account constant updates, to allow for any traffic jams that may occur while you are driving.

TomTom HD Traffic™

Motorways, major and secondary roads

New Zealand-wide coverage

The most complete coverage of New Zealand, including metro and regional centres.

Your TomTom HD Traffic service works throughout Australia and New Zealand*.

* Your TomTom HD Traffic service will work in Australia, when you have the Australia map installed on your device.

HD Traffic coverage on smaller A roads is dependent on traffic flow information generated by connected devices alone. Because there is normally less traffic on smaller A roads it is not always possible to detect traffic jams on these roads.

Next to this, complex traffic flow in city centres does not always make for reliable traffic messages. However, historical IQ Routes data is used in city centres to ensure you always get the best route.
