Trafc on Your Route
When calculating your route, the nüvi
examines the current trafc delays and
automatically optimizes the route for the
shortest time. You might still be routed
through trafc if it is the best route
available or no alternative roads exist.
If a severe trafc delay occurs on your
route while you are navigating, the nüvi
automatically recalculates the route to
avoid the severe delay.
The Map page displays when a
trafc delay is on your route. The
number in the icon represents the time
this delay added to your route. The delay
time has been automatically calculated
into the arrival time shown on the map.
To avoid trafc on your route:
1. On the Map page, touch .
2. Touch the text bar for more
information. If there is more than one
delay, touch Details.
3. Touch Avoid to avoid this delay.
