TomTom has one of the most extensive bases of real-time GPS probes in the world, detecting the actual traffic situation on all roads.

Volkswagen and Audi drivers will now benefit from the accurate TomTom service with over 100 million kilometres of roads covered. Navigation systems can propose reliable alternative routes, saving drivers hours of travel time annually, while actively reducing fuel consumption.

"Loadshedding is causing chaos at the moment with increased road traffic. In accordance with the TomTom Traffic Manifesto, we believe that partnerships like the one with Volkswagen will alleviate traffic congestion for all road users," said Etienne Louw, GM of TomTom Africa.
