Using traffic information
You can view current traffic conditions and in- formation. When the navigation system re- ceives updated traffic information, it will overlay the traffic information on your map and also display detailed text information when available.
In the default setting, the navigation system takes into account traffic information and tries to avoid traffic jam and suggests better routes. Also, when you are traveling along a route and the system finds another better route for avoid- ing the traffic jam, the current route will be re- calculated automatically.
The term “traffic jam” in this section indicates the following types of traffic conditions:
—
—Stopped traffic
—Closed/blocked roads
