Dynamic route guidance
In order for dynamic route guidance to func-
tion, Dynamic route must be activated in the
route options.
If a traffic report is received that affects the
route being travelled, an alternative route will
be searched for if the system calculates that
time can be saved.
If, on the other hand, the alternative route
does not save time, the route will continue
with the traffic jam. In both cases, an an-
nouncement will be made.
Shortly before reaching the announced traf-
fic jam, it is indicated again.
Avoiding a traffic jam by following the instruc-
tions of a traffic bulletin does not always save
time, for example, if alternative routes are
congested. The effectiveness of dynamic
navigation depends on the traffic bulletins
that are received.
The rest of the route that has to be travelled
can be manually excluded to force its recal-
culation
