Your road alert assistant

Meet Tom by TomTom, your new smart driving assistant. Designed to boost your focus and increase confidence on the road, Tom alerts you about changing traffic conditions, obstacles and speed cameras with audio visual cues. Keep your focus where it belongs – on the road ahead – with Tom, your sidekick on the road.

Speed camera alerts

Tom warns you about upcoming fixed speed cameras, mobile traps, danger zones (in France) and trajectory controls – all with audio and visual alerts.

A car detects an obstacle on the road using a sensor, indicated by a yellow circle, while another car approaches from behind.

Obstacle warnings

Road works, accidents, broken-down vehicles – Tom spots them all. Even objects on the road, dangerous conditions and wrong-way drivers are flagged before you encounter them.

TomTom Traffic alerts

Sudden standstills. Unexpected slowdowns. Dangerous jam tails. Tom alerts you of them all to help you avoid a dangerous situation.
