Displaying traffic messages on the map
The latest traffic messages are
represented graphically on the traffic
overview map. Sections of the route
where there are traffic problems are
highlighted blue. Arrows indicating the
traffic direction which is affected by the
traffic problem continue to be displayed.
In addition to the coloured mark, a
warning sign is displayed on the stretch
of road affected.
In the case of devices with Live Traffic –
traffic messages, movement data in
coloured gradations are represented in
addition to traffic congestions. Green,
yellow, orange and red are used here,
whereby green signifies a free flow of
traffic and red indicates that serious
delays are to be expected.
Using TMC or Live-Traffic
The use of TMC is described below, Live
Traffic behaves similarly here. When the
Navigation device has been attached to
the carrier plate (power supply with the
integrated TMC antenna connected), your
Navigation device will receive up-to-date
traffic announcements. It is then possible
to calculate dynamic routes (traffic jam
diversion).
You can also view traffic announcements
directly.
Settings for TMC can be made as
described under "The TMC or Traffic
button (model dependent)" on page 77.
> In the main menu, press the
button.
The map overview appears.
The message list appears when you
press
TMC List view.
You can scroll through the list using the
arrow keys or the scroll
wheel on the right-hand edge of the
screen.
The following is displayed for each traffic
announcement:
The type of problem and the street
number (motorway, A-road or
district road)
The distance as the crow flies from
the current position, and the length
and duration of the problem if
applicable
