You can choose the information you see on your route.
The symbols are in the order that they occur on your route. For traffic
incidents, the symbol for each incident alternates between showing the
type of incident and the delay in minutes. Select a symbol to see more
information about a stop, an incident or a safety camera. If a symbol is
shown on top of another symbol, selecting the symbols zooms in on
the route bar to show each symbol separately. You can then select a
symbol.
The total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your
route, including information provided by IQ Routes, is shown above the
symbols.
For a complete list of incident types, see
Traffic incidents .
The bottom of the route bar represents your current location and shows
the distance to the next incident on your route.
Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents
will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
The route bar also shows status messages, for example Finding fastest route or Playing route
preview.
Distances and the route bar
The distance ahead shown on the route bar depends on the length of your route, or the distance
remaining on your route.

For remaining distances longer than 31 miles (50 km), only the next 31 miles (50 km) is
shown. The destination icon is not shown.
Tip: You can scroll the route bar to see your whole route.

For remaining distances between 6 miles (10 km) and 31 miles (50 km), the complete
distance is shown. The destination icon is shown fixed at the top of the route bar.

For remaining distances of less than 6 miles (10 km) the complete distance is shown. The
destination icon moves down toward the chevron symbol as you get closer to your destina-
tion.
The top half of the route bar shows twice the distance of the bottom half, as shown in the
following examples:

A remaining distance of 31 miles (50 km) on the route bar is split into 21 miles (34 km) at the
top and 9 miles (16 km) on the bottom.

A remaining distance of 6 miles (10 km) on the route bar is split into 4 miles (6.6 km) at the
top and 2 miles (3.3 km) on the bottom.
The route bar is constantly updated as you drive.
