Avoiding Delays, Tolls, and Areas

Avoiding Traffic Delays on Your Route

Traffic Receiver, page 21).
By default, the device optimizes your route to avoid traffic delays automatically. If you have disabled this option
in the traffic settings (Traffic Settings, page 25), you can view and avoid traffic delays manually.

areas. The device may still include a toll area in your route if no other reasonable routes are available.
