Traffic Information In Route Planning; Historical Traffic - Blaupunkt TravelPilot 43 Instruction Manual

6.1.8 Traffic information in route planning (Not available for all models)
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline statistical traffic
information (historical speed information or traffic patterns) can be taken into account in the
route calculation based on the time of day and the day of week whenever suitable data exists.
In addition, real-time traffic information can help you avoid current traffic events like temporary
road closures or a traffic jam caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data
availability.
You can display the historical traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select
this option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the
density of the traffic in the given period. The current information is shown when you open the
screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the desired period.
You can display the live traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this
option from the More menu. A 2D map is displayed with road segments coloured by the
severity of traffic events. Tap the event type icon at the road segment and then tap the
button to get information about the traffic event.

6.1.8.1 Historical traffic

If statistical traffic information is stored with the map data, TravelPilot can take them into
account when planning a route. In normal cases, these statistics help you avoid usual traffic
jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like on public holidays that
fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can disable this feature in Traffic
settings (page 93).
You can display statistical traffic information on the map if you browse the map and select this
