Avoiding Traffic

MSN Direct provides local traffic

information for a large number of

metropolitan areas. To learn more about

the type of traffic data available in your

area, go to

www.msndirect.com

/WhatYouGet

.

When calculating your route, the

nüvi examines the current traffic and

automatically optimizes the route for the

shortest time. You might still be routed

through traffic if no alternative roads

exist. If a severe traffic delay occurs on

your route while you are navigating, the

nüvi automatically recalculates the route.
When you receive traffic information,

a traffic icon appears in the top left

corner of the Map page. The traffic icon

changes color to indicate the severity of

traffic conditions on your route or the

road you are currently traveling. Touch

the icon to view the Traffic menu.

Using Hands-Free Features

Hands-free phone features are available

only if your nüvi and your mobile phone

have Bluetooth wireless technology.

Depending on your phone, some hands-

free phone features will not be available

on your nüvi. To use the hands-free

features, you must pair your phone and

your nüvi.
