Trafc on Your Route
When calculating your route, the
device examines the current trafc
and automatically optimizes the
route for the shortest time. If a severe
trafc delay occurs on your route
while you are navigating, the device
automatically recalculates the route.
You might still be routed through
trafc if no better alternative routes
exist.
If a non-severe trafc delay occurs on
your route, the trafc icon displays
how much time the delay has added
to your route. This time is already
included in your estimated arrival time.
