TomTom frees up HD Live Traffic info

TomTom offers their South African HD Live Traffic information on their route planning website for free

you need to fix the link to http://routes.tomtom.com ... it currently redirects to a mybroadband page ( http://mybroadband.co.za/news/routes.tomtom.com ) that doesnt exist..

Interesting, I wonder how accurate / up to date it is.

It is pretty accurate. Use it all the time when drivers need to go to Johannesburg.
The Arrive Alive website has been running it for months now and I've been using it there.

The data is semi-live and appears to update on a 3-5 minute basis.
You can see when it last updated in the top-right corner of the page.

why is it called "HD"? Is everything better if it has HD in the title?

The traffic info has been available on the tomtom website for at least two months.

The traffic info has been available on the tomtom website for at least two months.

Been there since June, Mybb reporters are on the slow side as usual.

This has been around for a long time already, 8+ months!

I can believe that the service has been available since June when TomTom launched live traffic services in SA, but 8+ months is a bit hard to swallow.

Those who read the article may have noticed that it said that HD Traffic was launched in SA in June already.
