XM NavTraffic™ (USA Only)
Your vehicle's navigation system may have an XM
NavTraffic™ receiver. XM NavTraffic™ is a
subscription service provided via XM™ Satellite
Radio. XM NavTraffic™ provides real-time
traffic information fully integrated to the navigation
system to display current traffic conditions for a
driver's chosen route. XM NavTraffic™ allows
drivers to make the most informed, timesaving
routing decisions.
XM NavTraffic™ is powered by NAVTEQ Traffic™
data which provides aggregate, quality tested
information from the leading commercial and public
traffic data providers including government
departments of transportation, police, and
emergency services, road sensors, cameras, and
airborne reports. Three types of traffic information
for major roadways are displayed on the
navigation system:
•
Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as
accidents and disabled vehicles
•
Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road
construction and road closures
•
Traffic flow information (rate of speed data)
76
Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by
the XM™ Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™ makes
it possible for the navigation system to provide
continuously updated traffic information
personalized for a driver's needs.
