Traffic On Your Route; Viewing The Traffic Map - Garmin nuvi 705 series Quick Start Manual

Using Traffic Information

Traffic on Your Route

When calculating your route, the
nüvi 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, the nüvi automatically
recalculates the route. You might still
be routed through traffic if no better
alternative routes exist.
If a non-severe traffic delay occurs on
your route, the traffic icon shows how
much time the delay has added to your
route. This time is already included in
your estimated arrival time.

To manually avoid traffic on your
route:
1. On the Map page, touch the traffic
icon.
2. Touch Traffic On
3. Touch the arrows to view other traffic
delays on your route, if necessary.
4. Touch Avoid to avoid the traffic delay.
