Traffic on Your Road

When you are not navigating a route and a traffic delay is on your 

road, the Map page displays a traffic icon, such as  

 (see Traffic Icons on 

page 5

). Touch the icon to view 

information about the traffic delays on the road ahead. 

Traffic on Your Route

When calculating your route, the Navigation Portable Pro 

examines the current traffic delays and automatically optimizes the 

route for the shortest time. You might still be routed through traffic 

if it is the best route available or if no alternative roads exist. If a 

severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are navigating, 

the Navigation Portable Pro automatically recalculates the route to 

avoid the severe delay.
The Map page displays   when a traffic delay is on your route. 

The number in the icon represents the time this delay added to 

your route. The delay time has been automatically calculated into 

the arrival time shown on the map. 

To avoid traffic on your route:

1.  On the Map page, touch  .
2.  Touch the text bar at the top of the Map page for more 

information. If there is more than one delay, touch 

Details

.

3.  Touch 

Avoid

 to avoid this delay. 

Traffic Flow Color Code

The colored roads on the map indicate traffic flow. 

 Green =  Low severity; traffic is flowing normally.

 Yellow =  Medium severity; traffic is a bit congested.

 Red =  High severity; traffic is heavily congested or stopped.
