Live Traffic - Traffic Announce-
ments via Data Connection
(model dependent)
Your navigation device can receive traffic
announcements from a server via a data
connection. These announcements are
more up-to-date than data received via
TMC and are also available more quickly.
There must also be an appropriate data
connection. Subsequent use of the traffic
announcements is the same as de-
scribed below for TMC.
If a connection to the server is not possi-
ble, the system then tries to switch over
to TMC traffic announcements (model
dependent). As soon as TMC is displayed,
there is no connection to the Life Traffic
server.
In the Chapter entitled
WiFi Settings
on
page 139
we describe how to create a
data connection.
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.
Notice:
The data transmission via your mobile
phone may involve additional costs de-
pending on the mobile phone contract.
Please find out from your mobile phone
provider before activating. If a connec-
tion to the server is not possible, e.g. be-
cause no mobile phone network is
available for a longer period of time,
then the system switches over auto-
matically to TMC until a connection to
the server is possible again.
With this button you can
specify the time a traffic
congestion bypass will save
before it should be displayed.
Values between 3 minutes
and 30 minutes of time-
saving are available.
