6.3.5 Traffic settings
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Whenever suitable data
exists, traffic information can be taken into account in the route calculation.
Button Description
Use this switch to enable or disable historical traffic data and traffic
patterns. This locally stored information can be very useful in normal
circumstances but for example on public holidays it may be better to
turn off in order not to take into account normal weekday traffic jams.
Use this switch to enable or disable the TMC receiver that can receive
real-time traffic information. The rest of the buttons below are all related
to the TMC function and are available only if the receiver is enabled.
This setting determines how Blaupunkt Navigation uses the received
real-time traffic information in route calculation. When calculating a new
route, or when recalculation becomes necessary based on the received
Traffic events, Blaupunkt Navigation avoids traffic events if it makes
sense.
You can also set the minimum delay that triggers route recalculation,
and you can instruct the application if you want to confirm every
recalculation.
Tap this button to open the list of traffic event types, and select which
events to take into account in route calculation.
6.3.6 Route settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
Button Description
You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based
upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from the
route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in route
calculation.
You can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle profile, or you can
even create new vehicle profiles if you tap More.
On-road navigation creates a turn by turn itinerary using the road
network on the map. Switch to off-road navigation to navigate between
destinations in a straight line.
The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and
vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details.
If the selected routing method is not Green, you can have your route
compared to the best green alternative on the screen when confirming
the route. If this alternative is much better than the selected method, you
can quickly switch to Green mode.
