Using traffic information

You can view current traffic conditions and in-
formation. When the navigation system re-
ceives updated traffic information, it will
overlay the traffic information on your map
and also display detailed text information
when available.
In the default setting, the navigation system
takes into account traffic information and tries
to avoid traffic jams and suggest better routes.
Also, when you are travelling along a route
and the system finds another better route for
avoiding the traffic jam, the current route will
be recalculated automatically.
The term "traffic jam" in this section indicates
the following types of traffic conditions:
— Stop-and-go traffic
— Stopped traffic
— Closed/blocked roads
