Avoiding Traffic
MSN Direct provides local traffic
information for a large number of
metropolitan areas. To learn more about
the type of traffic data available in your
area, go to www.msndirect.com
/WhatYouGet .
When calculating your route, the
nüvi examines the current traffic and
automatically optimizes the route for the
shortest time. You might still be routed
through traffic if no alternative roads
exist. If a severe traffic delay occurs on
your route while you are navigating, the
nüvi automatically recalculates the route.
When you receive traffic information,
a traffic icon appears in the top left
corner of the Map page. The traffic icon
changes color to indicate the severity of
traffic conditions on your route or the
road you are currently traveling. Touch
the icon to view the Traffic menu.
Using Hands-Free Features
Hands-free phone features are available
only if your nüvi and your mobile phone
have Bluetooth wireless technology.
Depending on your phone, some hands-
free phone features will not be available
on your nüvi. To use the hands-free
features, you must pair your phone and
your nüvi.
