Using traffic information
You can view current traffic conditions and in-
formation. When the navigation system re-
ceives updated traffic information, it will
overlay the traffic information on your map
and also display detailed text information
when available.
In the default setting, the navigation system
takes into account traffic information and tries
to avoid traffic jam and suggests better routes.
Also, when you are traveling along a route and
the system finds another better route for avoid-
ing the traffic jam, the current route will be re-
calculated automatically.
The term
“traffic jam” in this section indicates
the following types of traffic conditions:
— Stop-and-go traffic
— Stopped traffic
— Closed/blocked roads
