Navigation service provider TomTom has announced that TomTom Traffic information is now available in Malaysia. Also joining the updated list are Thailand, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. In Asia, both Singapore and Taiwan are already running the service.
This brings to 41 the number of countries it is available in. TomTom Traffic provides the latest accurate traffic information for highways, major roads and secondary roads. It also includes congestion forecasting, which indicates whether a jam is growing or dispersing and estimates how long a delay will last.
“We are excited to announce the launch of TomTom Traffic in four key emerging markets, where we know traffic congestion is an issue,” said Ralf-Peter Schäfer, head of traffic at TomTom. “Our aim is to help drivers get there faster and support governments to better manage traffic flow.”
Apple’s Maps app uses data from TomTom, and the company also retails standalone portable GPS navigation devices in Malaysia.

Better than stupid waze and their arrogant moderator.
What are you talking about. TomTom is even worst. Proton Preve, Lexus and most famous of all Apple Map’s reputation suffered because of TomTom’s serious bad quality problems. Totally useless maps and I wonder where on earth do they get the traffic info from? BTW cant find even one shop selling TomTom PND in Malaydia. Are they kidding us? Since when April the first came this early?
You sure it’s better than Waze?
Tom Tom, you better improve your M’sia map first before talking about providing traffic info.
agree. otherwise u will see congestion indication at roads that are not even drawn yet.
Waze oni better than other map apps for social sharing of info.. other than that better take other map provider.
Ok, but can the current cars with built-in tomtom gpses get traffic reports or do they need buy a new one?
