Destination guidance with trafficbulletins

General information

Detour suggestions from the navigation system can be manually accepted in the semi-dynamic destination guidance. In the dynamic destination guidance, they are automatically accepted in the route guidance.

Semi-dynamic destination guidance

When traffic bulletin reception is switched on, semi-dynamic destination guidance is active.

The destination guidance system takes the available traffic information into account. A message is displayed depending on the route, the traffic bulletins, and the possible detour routes.

When there is a traffic obstruction, if possible, a detour is offered.

The top part of the message displays:

► The symbol of the first traffic obstruction, including the distance at which the traffic obstruction first occurs, if applicable.
► The overall length of the traffic obstructions on the route.
► The extended driving time due to the traffic obstructions.

The bottom part of the message displays:

► The recommended detour with the distance remaining until the detour starts.
► The difference in the route length compared to the original route.
► Time gained using the detour compared to the original route with the traffic obstructions.

With the Professional navigation system: in addition to displaying the original route in white, the split screen also displays the detour.
