Travelling with the Re-routing Mode On
The following will occur whenever a Traffic event that affects your route is received:
•
The receiver will analyse the impact this event will have on your route.
•
A “Re-calculating the route” message will pop up on the screen along with the reason for
the re-calculation.
•
Once the alternate route has been computed, it will compare the alternative route with the
original route, and will decide which is the best route to follow, taking time and distance
into consideration.
•
If the original route is still the best one to follow, the route will be unchanged and the time
portion of the status bar will be updated to reflect the delay. The traffic icon will appear in
the lower right-hand corner of the map display. Tapping this icon brings up a list of the
traffic events on the route.
•
If the alternative route is the best route to follow, the receiver will start guiding you along
this route.
•
The map screen will also show road signs corresponding to Traffic events, including those
not affecting the route.
•
Events that affect your route will also appear as road signs in the list of directions.
