[TomTom](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/29/tomtom-android/) is announcing [HD Traffic 6.0](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/12/tomtom-sends-hd-traffic-update-to-all-live-models-extends-traff/), an upgrade to its [live traffic service](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/05/tomtom-extends-live-service-and-hd-traffic-to-canada-with-go-liv/) that's reportedly 90 percent better at identifying roadworks and 65 percent better at spotting closed roads. At the same time, the company's teaming up with [BMW](http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/16/bmw-my-remote-app-arrives-in-the-us-3-series-with-stinger-missi/) to offer [GoLive](http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/29/tomtom-announces-go-live-1535m-in-all-its-app-wielding-glory-of/) device integration with selected [1](http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/23/bmw-connected-hitting-1-series-cars-first-lets-you-tweet-your-d/), [3](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/01/bmw-3-series-gets-full-color-heads-up-display/), X1 and X3-series vehicles. Pop down to your local dealer, and a specially designed mount will integrate the gear with your car's entertainment and audio systems, muting directions when you're on a call and so-forth. Both are available from today, with HD Traffic expanding to a further 23 countries before the end of the year.
