TomTom's traffic information service HD Traffic 6.0 now in the UK

TomTom is once again doing their best to help you avoid stress inducing traffic jams. TomTom has introduced its new traffic information service, HD Traffic 6.0, into the UK. Avoiding traffic jams will be a lot easier and you'll get to your destination quicker, since this new service can detect traffic jams five times more accurately than previous versions.

The traffic information offered by TomTom HD Traffic 6.0 is 15 times as accurate as the prevailing Traffic Message Channels (TMC) available through other navigators. TomTom will also detect, in real-time, road blocks and road works - even if these haven’t been reported by official sources. Tests show that TomTom HD Traffic 6.0 recognises up to 65% more blocked roads.

HD Traffic 6.0 is available as part of TomTom LIVE Services which offers updated traffic info every two minutes. Customers who already have LIVE Services will receive an automatic, free update to HD Traffic 6.0.

With this handy service there will be no more using "stuck in traffic" excuses for being late to work then. For more details on this and other TomTom services, please click here.
