4.1.6 Historical traffic
If statistical traffic information is stored with the map data, ZENEC 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 enable or disable this feature in Traffic
settings. See page 75.
4.1.7 Real-time traffic
Real-time traffic information can provide you with the current status of the traffic. Route
calculation can avoid road blocks or unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident.
The following data sources are available:
•
Traffic Message Channel (TMC):
TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for
broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information.
If public Traffic data is broadcast at your location, ZENEC automatically searches the
FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information is immediately used in
route planning.
TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region.
Note!
Ask your local dealer for coverage details.
The application automatically takes account of the traffic events received. You do not need to
set anything in ZENEC.
When ZENEC receives traffic information that may affect your route, it warns you that it is
recalculating the route. The navigation continues with a new optimal route considering the
most up-to-date traffic conditions.
For information on traffic icons, see page 20.
To fine-tune this service, you have the following options in Traffic settings (page 75):
•
Set the minimum amount of time that you think is worth saving at the cost of a detour.
•
Instruct ZENEC to have you confirm the new planned route before it takes effect.
