TRAFFIC SETTINGS / UNDERSTANDING TRAFFIC*

Traffic informaTion
in rouTe planning

The recommended route is not
always the same between two
points. Offline statistical traffic
information (historical speed
information or traffic patterns)
can be taken into account in
the route calculation based on
the time of day and the day of
week whenever suitable data
exists. In addition, real-time
traffic information can help
you avoid current traffic events
like temporary road closures
or a traffic jam caused by an
accident. Both functions are
subject to data availability

real-Time Traffic
informaTion (Tmc)

TMC (Traffic Message
Channel) can provide you
with the real-time status of the
traffic. Route calculation

can avoid road blocks or
unexpected traffic jams caused
by an accident.

TMC is a specific application
of the FM Radio Data System
(RBDS) used for broadcasting
real-time traffic

and weather information.

Using traffic information is
enabled by default in the
software.

Your device contains the TMC
receiver that is needed to
receive Traffic events.

If public Traffic data is
broadcast at your location, the
software automatically takes
into account the traffic events
received. You do not need to
set anything in the program.
The receiver will automatically
search the FM radio stations
for TMC data, and the decoded
information will immediately be
used in route planning. When
your software receives traffic
information that may affect your
route, the program will warn
you that it is recalculating the
route. Navigation will continue
with a new route that is optimal
considering the most up-to­date traffic conditions.

To fine-tune this recalculation,
you can set the minimum
delay that can trigger a
route recalculation. You can
also instruct the software to
have you confirm the new
recommended route before it
takes effect. You can do these
in Traffic settings.

*W900 does not have a traffic feature

17

TRAFFIC SETTINGS / UNDERSTANDING TRAFFIC*

A special icon ( ) is
displayed on the Map screen to

are received. The icon shows
the status of the traffic receiver
when there are no traffic events
on your route, otherwise it

traffic event on your route.

18

TRAFFIC EVENTS

Road segments affected by
traffic events are displayed with
an alternate color on the map.
Small symbols above the road
show the nature of the event.

Tap to open the list of
traffic event categories:

In the first column you can see
the number of traffic events on
your route. The second column

events in the categories.

Tap any of the event types to
