Route guidance with traffic bulletins
Semi-dynamic route guidance
With traffic bulletin reception switched on,
semi-dynamic route guidance is active.
The system takes into account the existing traf-
fic bulletins during route guidance. A message
is displayed as a function of the route, the traffic
bulletins, and the possible alternate routes. The
message displays the traffic bulletin and in the
event of a traffic obstruction, suggests an alter-
nate route if possible. The difference in dis-
tance and time between the original route and
the alternate route are also displayed.
Taking an alternate route:
"Detour"
With particular hazards, e.g. objects on the
roadway, a message is displayed without a pos-
sible alternate route.
It is also possible to take alternate routes can
also be taken if the traffic reports are accessed
