Avoiding a traffic jam on your route
You can avoid a traffic jam that is on your route.
Note: Sometimes the quickest route is still the route that has the traffic jam.
Note: It may not be possible to find an alternative route around the traffic jam if none exists.
Avoiding a traffic jam using the route bar
1. In the route bar, select the symbol for the traffic jam you want to avoid.
The traffic jam is shown on the map.
2. Select the pop-up menu button.
3. Select Avoid in the pop-up menu.
A new route is found that avoids the traffic jam.
Avoiding a traffic jam using the map
1. On the map view, zoom in and select the traffic jam that is on your route.
The traffic jam with an information panel is shown on the map.
2. Select the pop-up menu button.
3. Select Avoid.
A new route is found that avoids the traffic jam.
Selecting a faster route
When a faster route is found, you are asked if you want to take the faster route.
Tip: To be asked to select a route, select Ask me so I can choose in the Route Planning menu in
Settings.
If you've not already selected the faster route, as you approach the faster route it is shown on the
guidance view in green. A decision symbol is shown in the route bar.
To select the faster route, take the green route shown. Your device automatically displays your new
route.
To ignore the faster route, just continue following your current route.
