Calculating the route with TMC while route guidance is in
progress
The traffic messages are transmitted by TMC stations along with their regular pro-
gramming. If a traffic message affects the route calculated, then a new route to the
selected destination will be calculated automatically. You will hear the following voice
output: “The route is being calculated taking traffic reports into account”.
Note
The TravelPilot DX-V always calculates a time-optimized route. This means
that if the reported traffic problem were to involve too long a detour, the
TravelPilot may decide not to calculate a diversion at all and instead lead
you through the traffic. This behaviour depends on the length and type of
traffic problem and the length of the possible detour.
Displaying traffic messages
Displaying on the map
The received traffic messages are displayed on the map using different symbols and
a dashed line. If the traffic obstruction lies along the route calculated by the navigation
system, the traffic congestion symbol is displayed with a blue border.
The following traffic congestion symbols can be displayed on the map:
slow traffic
