About the Traffic Icon
When you are receiving traffic information, a traffic
icon appears on the map. The traffic icon changes
color to indicate the severity of traffic conditions.
Color Severity Meaning
Green Low Traffic is flowing freely.
Yellow Medium Traffic is moving but there is
a delay. There is moderate
traffic congestion.
Red High Traffic is not moving or
moving slowly. There is a
severe delay.
Traffic on Your Route
When calculating your route, the device examines
the current traffic and automatically optimizes the
route for the shortest time. If a severe traffic delay
occurs on your route while you are navigating,
your device automatically recalculates the route.
The traffic icon changes color to indicate the
severity of traffic conditions on your route or on the
road you are currently traveling.
Your device may route you through a traffic delay if
a better alternative route does not exist. The delay
time is added into your estimated time of arrival
automatically.
