Traffic on Your Route

When calculating your route, the device
examines the current traffic and automatically
optimizes the route for the shortest time. If a
severe traffic delay occurs on your route while
you are navigating, your device automatically
recalculates the route.
The traffic icon changes color to indicate the
severity of traffic conditions on your route or on
the road you are currently traveling.
Your device may route you through a traffic
delay if a better alternative route does not exist.
The delay time is added into your estimated time
of arrival automatically.
