Using the traffic congestion function
Regardless of whether or not your TravelPilot DX-V is able to receive information from
a TMC source (“TMC D-Namic tuner box” or appropriately equipped Blaupunkt car
radio), you can enter a traffic congestion detour manually. As a result, you can alter
your route quickly on the basis of the traffic situation (e.g. road works, closed sections
of road, etc.). The TravelPilot DX-V will then calculate a new route to bypass the traffic
congestion. In order to do this, you must know the distance of the beginning and the
end of the traffic congestion from your current position. You can also exclude entire
roads from the route list.
