4.1.5.2 Online traf
fi
c information
Unlike statistical traf
fi
c information, online traf
fi
c can provide you with the real-time status of
the traf
fi
c. Route calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traf
fi
c jams caused by an
accident.
Note!
This feature needs an active Internet connection.
The application automatically takes into account the traf
fi
c events received. You do not need to
set anything in the program. When the navigation system receives traf
fi
c information that may
affect your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will
continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traf
fi
c conditions.
To
fi
ne-tune this recalculation, you can set the minimum delay that can trigger a route
recalculation, or you can instruct the navigation system to have you con
fi
rm the new
recommended route before it takes effect. You can do these in Traf
fi
c settings (page 62).
A special icon (
) is displayed on the Map screen to show you whether traf
fi
c events
are received. The icon shows the status of the traf
fi
c receiver when there are no traf
fi
c events
on your route, otherwise it shows the type of next traf
fi
c event on your route.
Road segments affected by traf
fi
c events are displayed with an alternate color on the map, and
small symbols above the road show the nature of the event:
1. Select
to open the Traf
fi
c Summary screen:
2. Select
to open the list of event categories.
3. Select the traf
fi
c category you are interested in, or select
to see the list of all
events:
4. Now select any of the list items to see its details, and to display the affected road
segment in its full length on the map:
Note!
If there are traf
fi
c events on the recommended route that the application
has not bypassed, the
icon will open the list of signi
fi
cant
traf
fi
c events to let you quickly check them.
