bulletins, and the possible alternate routes. The
message displays the traffic bulletin and in the
event of a traffic obstruction, suggests an alter-
nate route if possible. The difference in dis-
tance and time between the original route and
the alternate route are also displayed.
Taking an alternate route:
"Detour"

roadway, a message is displayed without a pos-
sible alternate route.

also be taken if the traffic reports are accessed
via the list:
