Using FM Traffic
Traffic on Your Route
When calculating your route, the
nüvi examines the current traffic and
automatically optimizes the route
for the shortest time. If a severe
traffic delay occurs on your route
while you are navigating, the nüvi
automatically recalculates the route.
You might still be routed through
traffic if no better alternative routes
exist.
