The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the 
total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route. 
The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic incidents 
in the order they occur on your route. 
The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and 
shows the distance to the next incident on your route. 
To make the traffic sidebar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will 
always be of minor importance and only cause short delays. 
The color of the pointers, as shown below, gives you an instant indication of the type of incident: 
 Unknown or undetermined situation. 
 Slow traffic. 
 Developing traffic jam. 
 Stationary traffic or road closure. 
 
Taking the fastest route 
Your TomTom device regularly looks for a faster route to your destination. If the traffic situation 
changes and a faster route is found, your device offers to replan your trip so you can use the 
faster route. 
You can also set your device to automatically replan your trip whenever a faster route is found. To 
apply this setting, tap Traffic settings in the Traffic menu. 
To manually find and replan the fastest route to your destination, do the following: 
1. Tap the traffic sidebar. 
Tip: If you find that tapping the sidebar opens the Main menu instead of the traffic menu, try 
tapping the sidebar with your finger resting on the edge of the screen. 
A summary of traffic on your route is shown. 
2. Tap Options. 
3. Tap Minimize delays. 
Your device searches for the fastest route to your destination. 
The new route may include traffic delays. You can replan the route to avoid all traffic delays, 
but a route which avoids all delays will usually take longer than the fastest route. 
4. Tap Done.
