TomTom App Offers Canadian Drivers Access to TomTom HD Traffic

TomTom announced that its newest update to the TomTom App for iPhone, version 1.9, offers TomTom HD Traffic compatibility for Canadian drivers. TomTom HD Traffic enables drivers to get to their destination faster and is the most accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date traffic solution available.

TomTom HD traffic saves people time on their commute, money on gas and helps alleviate stress by continuously monitoring and rerouting drivers based on current traffic conditions. TomTom HD Traffic provides the most accurate reporting available by capturing more of the actual traffic jams than ever before. Additionally, TomTom HD Traffic processes traffic conditions for both the major and secondary roads within the Canadian road network and proactively delivers real-time traffic updates to devices every two minutes.

Additionally, the TomTom App, version 1.9, offers a new map and is optimized for the iPad. Now, existing TomTom App customers can download the newest version of the App to their iPads for free.  The optimized App features a higher resolution for a sharper display and an enhanced user interface to fit the larger iPad screen size. The full-screen display shows both driving view and advanced lane guidance at the same time, and drivers can switch to driving view with one, simple touch from anywhere within the App.

The new release of the App is compatible with Apple's brand new iOS5.

Availability

TomTom App for iPhone/iPad 1.9 is available in the iTunes store starting today. Existing TomTom App for iPhone customers can download the new version of the App to their iPad for free.

TomTom HD Traffic is available via an in-App purchase for $19.99 CAD. Current TomTom Traffic subscribers will be automatically upgraded to TomTom HD Traffic service for no additional charge.
