Using FM TMC Trafc
Trafc on Your Route
When calculating your route, the
aera examines the current trafc and
automatically optimizes the route for the
shortest time. If a severe trafc delay occurs
on your route while you are navigating, the
aera automatically recalculates the route.
You might still be routed through trafc if no
better alternative routes exist.
If a non-severe trafc delay occurs on your
route, the trafc icon shows how much time
the delay has added to your route. This time
is included in your estimated arrival time.
