Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given
day of week and time of day.

Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route.

Your software automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary
or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route.

4.1.4 Green routing

Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the
vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO

2

emission when planning a

route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.

In Settings, select

to enter the necessary parameters of your vehicle and

the average fuel price. You can also select whether you want to see the difference between
your route and the green route even if the selected routing method is not Green.

After the above parameters are set, select

as route planning method to

get a fast but also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO

2

emission calculations are

estimations only. They cannot take elevations, turns, curves and traffic conditions into
account. Also, this routing is not meant to give you the "greenest" route of all. It is still
important to travel quickly so the result is a fast route with low fuel consumption and CO

2

emission.

With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is
selected, the Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:

If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to
show the green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO

emission differences

between your selected route and the Green route are also shown on this screen:

Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately.
