Real-Time Traffi c Information
In addition to providing users with pre-trip planning and GPS route
guidance capabilities, CoPilot uses wireless communications to
automatically send real-time information to drivers, notifying them of
traffi c incidents along the route ahead and potential alternate routes.
As soon as the user selects a destination, CoPilot will provide dynamic
driving directions and regularly updated traffi c incident reports.
There are two ways to receive real-time traffi c feeds with CoPilot Live:
1. Use a wireless Internet (GPRS) connection to receive traffi c
incidents through a traffi c service provider.
2. Use a TMC-enabled traffi c receiver to obtain traffi c incidents
through a dedicated FM band.
Traffi c is an optional additional-cost service and is not available in all areas.
Real-Time Traffi c in Guidance Mode
Provided that CoPilot has GPS acquisition, a user-inputted destination,
and a traffi c feed (GPRS or TMC), it will provide regularly updated traffi c
incident reports in Guidance Mode. As soon as the user selects a
destination, CoPilot begins providing dynamic driving directions as well as
regularly updated traffi c incident reports and alternate routes based on
the user’s destination and route ahead.
Traffi c Options
To confi gure traffi c options, on your Smartphone select Options >
Settings > Live Setup > Traffi c.
• Enable Traffi c: Switch on the Traffi c service.
• Automatically Check Traffi c: Select to have CoPilot automatically
check for traffi c incidents when you fi rst run a route and periodically
after that as you drive into new areas.
• Default Action: Choose either Ignore or Avoid. If a new traffi c
alert times out before you look at it, that incident will take the default
action. The Avoid setting will generate an alternate route.
