Useful functions
You can receive traffic information from the
Live
server. One of the
server's functions is to evaluate anonymously collected floating car data
from the many users of
Live
services.
As the result, traffic jams can be detected and avoided more quickly
and more reliably. The evaluation of floating car data also helps to
calculate the estimated time of arrival more exactly.
Note:
The traffic information source being used by the navigation
device is indicated by the symbol (
TMC
or
Traffic Live
) at the top right
of the screen (see "Traffic information" on page 25).
If you use the
Live
services, you will no longer receive any other traffic
messages.
►
Set Source of traffic information to radio stations.
►
If you use the
Live
services again and the Source of traffic
information setting is set to radio stations, you must change the
setting back to Live services (see "Configuring the Live services" on
page 162).

If a new traffic message concerning your route arises while navigation is
in progress, the Traffic information button will appear at the right edge
of the screen.
Recalculate route: Automatically
If you have selected Automatically for the Recalculate route setting, the
button will not show a distance. The traffic obstruction will be avoided
automatically if this can justifiably shorten the trip. If not, the traffic
information will be ignored.
Recalculate route: On request
If you have selected On request, then the distance to the reported traffic
obstruction will be indicated on the button.
Note:
During navigation on a Multi-Stop route, traffic obstructions will
be avoided automatically if this can justifiably shorten the trip.
The button will turn red if the distance is less than 50 km.

likely to involve a considerable loss of time, a possible detour will
also be shown.
