Navigation operation
What is dynamic route
guidance?
Dynamic route guidance is used to cal-
culate the route, taking current traffic
announcements into account.
The traffic announcements are transmit-
ted by a TMC radio station in addition to
the radio programme and are received
and analysed by the navigation system.
The reception of traffic announcements
is free of charge.
Dynamic route guidance
In the Route menu, Dynamic Route
Guidance can be started by selecting
START-DYN. R..
If dynamic route guidance has been acti-
vated, a continuous check is made for
the presence of relevant announcements
for the selected route. The route is then
calculated using the “Fastest route” op-
tion, while taking into account current
traffic announcements. If it is deter-
mined during these continuous checks
that a traffic announcement is of rele-
vance for the route guidance, the unit
will automatically re-calculate a new
route to the destination.
NEW ROUTE is shown on the display.
There is also the voice announcement
“The route is being recalculated due
to current traffic announcements”.
is displayed inversely.
KD-NX10 can receive TMC informa-
tion, whether a TMC station is selected
or not. However, in order to guarantee
optimal reception of TMC information,
we recommend the selection of a TMC
station.
Note:
As the traffic announcements are trans-
mitted by radio stations, we cannot as-
sume responsibility for the
completeness or accuracy of the an-
nouncements.
