Traffic On Route

 

 

 

If a traffic event (an incident such as a roadblock) occurs on your route, 

the Traffic Status Icon on the main map will change to yellow and the Traffic bar 

will appear. This number in the center of the icon represents the number of 

traffic events on your route. In addition to this, a chime will sound for every new 

event received that affects your route.
In the example above, two (2) events shave been reported for the route. 
If there is a delay associated with this event(s), a box will appear to the left of 

the Traffic Status Icon indicating the estimated delay. 
To get more details on these traffic events, or get the option to avoid these events, 

simply tap the Traffic Status Icon to see the Traffic Details screen for each event. 
The Traffic bar will appear for 30 seconds when an incident occurs or is updated on your 

route. To expand or collapse the Traffic Bar, simple tap the arrow next to the time delay. 

Traffic Map

 

The traffic map presents a map with traffic flow and traffic event(s). The traffic event 

icons indicate the type of traffic event.

On the small scale traffic map (zoomed out), traffic flow may be seen. Traffic event icons 

are turned off at this scale to see the traffic map clearly. 
On the large scale maps (zoomed in), the Traffic event icons appear together with the 

traffic flow. You may tap any traffic event icon to receive more details on the event. 

Tap the refresh button to update the traffic information. 

Tap the toggle button to switch between live and predictive traffic display.

Traffic Flow

 

The Traffic map contains traffic flow information. The line colours: yellow, red and 

black represent the speed at which traffic is moving. 
The purple line represents an incident’s extent (i.e. the where it begins and ends) and 

means that traffic is flowing normally.  

       

Congestion events will appear in the Traffic List. 
A triangle with these colors is placed to the left of the traffic symbol in the list. Refer to 

the Traffic List section for more details.  

Traffic Details

 

At times, you may need to get more information on a specific traffic event. When in the 

Traffic map or Traffic List screen, simply tap any event for more details.
