traffic data from trucks can’t be very useful for civilian traffic.

Why not? They are on the highways which is what gets fucked.

it might probably depend on geography, but where i live trucks have one lane and they they are forbidden by law to block the other ones (not that they respect that to the letter). but the trucks may be standing still while the other lanes are fine (or at least not standing still). then the information from truck navigation means nothing for me in passenger car. another way is that trucks run some specific routes, they drive from a factory to some warehouse, but they don’t randomly drive aroud the city center.
they also just can’t physically take some routes (sharp turnes, narrow roads, low bridges, etc.)
so the data from trucks only cover small part of the road network and top of that some of them is not relevant for passenger cars.

OK fine. I was giving advice based on my personal situation.
On another note, how does the bread get from the bakery to the restaurant where you are if not for trucks?

Wait, Tom Tom is German? So European.

I guess? I skimmed the TOS and when I agreed to it they stated they were German.
