TomTom Traffic works on a subscription model that delivers you real-time traffic information. To access this service, a valid TomTom Traffic or LIVE Services subscription is required. Your TomTom device connects to TomTom servers using your smartphone’s internet connection or a built-in a SIM card.
Once a network connection is established, your device can communicate with the TomTom server. If you have an active subscription and the connection is functioning properly, you receive timely service information.
If there are issues connecting to the network or server, see Traffic or LIVE Services Not Working.
TomTom Traffic and LIVE Services are auto-renewal subscriptions. This means it automatically renews unless you cancel it.
Difference between Traffic and LIVE Services
While both TomTom Traffic and LIVE Services offer valuable information, they serve distinct purposes:
- TomTom Traffic: This service is focused exclusively on providing traffic data. It is available in more countries than LIVE Services, making it a reliable choice if you primarily need traffic information.
- LIVE Services: This subscription includes multiple services, such as traffic, weather updates, and points of interest. It is ideal if you’re seeking a broader range of real-time information.
To make sure everything works great, just pair your device the right way. This simple step will boost your connection and help you access services more easily.
