24 Navigation System
Getting Started
Naturally, only roads with these sensors
will show traffic information. The
amount of flow data varies considerably
from one city to another. This map
display is refreshed continuously. You
can only view traffic information in the
city where you are located.
NOTE:
• Traffic flow, and incident icons are
only displayed the 1/2, 1, 2, and 5
miles scales (800m, 1600m, 3km, 8km
scales)
• Not all freeways within a
metropolitan area have traffic flow
data (colored bands on the side of the
freeways) - this is normal, and you
cannot assume that a lack of data
implies no traffic.
• Not all cities have traffic flow
information. See cities listed on
page 126.
• Due to freeway maintenance and
construction, traffic flow may be
available only for one side of a road,
or to be missing entirely for some
portion of the freeway.
• The displayed traffic flow may
disagree with the information from
other audio or Internet based traffic
displays.
• If traffic flow is not showing, verify
that the “TRAFFIC” selection for the
Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon
options for traffic are both ON. (see
page 65).
Viewing Incident Reports
Incident reports appear as small
diamond shaped icons (see Traffic
Display Legend on page 22 for
examples). There are three ways to view
traffic incidents:
• Selects an incident icon from the map
• By voice control, say “Display traffic
incidents.”
• Select “Traffic Incidents” from the
map menu.
Selecting an Incident Icon from the
Map Screen
Zoom in or out so that you are between
the 1/2 and 5 mile scales. (The map
must be on the 1/2 to 5 mile scales to
view the incident icons.) To view the
details of a specific incident, use the
Interface Dial to position the cursor
(round red circle) over the incident icon
you are interested in. Then push in on
the
Interface Dial to view a pop-up
box summary describing the incident.
To see and hear the incident details,
push in on the
Interface Dial a second
time. To return to your current position
map screen, say or select
Return . To
continue viewing incidents in your
“scrolled to” location, press the
CANCEL button.
