Detour

In Guidance Mode, clicking the Detour button will enable you to specify what the road conditions are in front of you so that CoPilot can generate an alternate route. This is useful when you need to get around traffic jams, roadwork, or other unexpected traffic slow-downs but don’t know whether or not you’ll save any time by turning off your current route.

When you click Detour, a window opens that asks you to describe the road congestion ahead of you:

The Light Congestion option takes you off the original course if there’s a quick way around the road up ahead. For example, you might want to use it when there’s a long line at a traffic light.

The Heavy Congestion option will get you around extended delays caused by traffic accidents and other obstructions that slow traffic to a stand-still. This option only keeps you on your original route if the alternatives are extremely out of the way.
