ALK Technologies CoPilot Live Smartphone - Manual (Page 41)

Traffic Report Content
Provided that CoPilot has GPS acquisition, a user-inputted destination, and
access to the Internet, it will provide regularly updated traffic incident
reports in Guidance Mode. As soon as the user selects a destination,
CoPilot begins providing dynamic driving directions as well as regularly
updated incident reports that include traffic incidents along the route ahead
as well as potential alternate routes.
To configure traffic settings, on your Smartphone select Menu > Options >
Live > Traffic.
Check Traffic
In addition to providing automatic traffic reports, CoPilot also allows users to
manually check traffic on the route ahead. To manually check traffic, select
Menu > Traffic > Check Traffic.
Traffic Report
Whether automatically provided by CoPilot or manually requested by the
user, detailed traffic incident information is conveyed in the Traffic Report.
Incident severity is indicated by the colored bar at the top of the screen.
See Traffic Icon Display (previous page) for an explanation of the four
colors and their corresponding severity levels.
CoPilot details the number of traffic incidents detected, the particular
incident being referenced, as well as the distance from your current location
or inputted origin to that incident.
Press 1 to Avoid the incident or 2 to Ignore it. Press Done to calculate the
new route. CoPilot will use your default incident action for unviewed
incidents.
