With the map display the TMC symbols of the traffic obstructions are shown at the
corresponding positions. With small map scales (50 km / 100 km) you can see an over-
view of the traffic information. Traffic conditions are shown in detail for larger map
scales.
Traffic messages that are on the
planned route are shown with a red
border and those off the route are
shown with a grey border.
In addition, arrows in the TMC sym-
bols can indicate the direction of
travel where the traffic obstruction
occurs for obstructions which are
not on the planned route.
Traffic obstructions that extend over a certain distance are indicated with the driving
direction and length on larger map scales, e.g. construction work, accidents, slow-
moving, queuing or stationary traffic, etc.
The traffic density (slow-moving, queuing or stationary traffic) and the length of the
traffic obstruction is then represented by arrows.
The following information is shown in the guidance display :
TMC symbol: Symbol of the traffic obstruction (see “TMC symbols” on
page 168); if there are several obstructions, then this is indicated by a second
(partly hidden) TMC symbol.
d
+ Dimensional details (red): Length of the traffic obstruction or distance to
end of the obstruction (car in the area of the obstruction).
!
Direction: Distance to the beginning of the traffic obstruction (omitted in the
area of the obstruction).
"
Simplified graphic representation of the route (black bar) and position of the
traffic obstruction (red segment). The car position is represented as circle with
arrow on the inside (driving direction).
