Operation Manual

Blocked sections can also be handled with the use of the "Blocked sections" option in the "Route" menu. The list of all
blocked sections is displayed: blocked sections are marked
with a red circle (traffic ban), and unblocked sections – with a
grey circle. This option enables the user to: view the blocked
section on the map, unblock the section or modify its
beginning and/or expiry date, remove all blocked sections.
Blocked sections can be saved to file, read in, added from a
file or imported from previous system versions.
The above screens show a blocked section of Podwale street
and the unblocked Kapitulna street.
2.12.1 Temporary section blocks
The "Detour" option has a similar function but it applies to a
section of the route with a preset length. This is a useful
function when, for example, the driver sees a traffic jam
ahead with the estimated length of 500 m. When the user
taps on "Detour" and then "Next 500 m", the system will
block all sections from the nearest junction along the
distance of 500 m on the preset route. Detour blocks can be removed with the use of the "Detour|Remove detours"
option.
Detour blocks are automatically deleted when the user exits the program.
2.12.2 Blocked roads and route mapping
The system can use a blocked section to map the route in the following situations:
• when a route point is situated in a blocked road section,
• if the detour enforced by the road block is too long in comparison with the route leading through the blocked
section,
• during route mapping, when a route point is set at home/work/car.
3 Advanced features and system settings
This section describes advanced system features omitted above, as well as all the available settings selectable in various
