Operation Manual
5.3.3 Traffic settings
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Whenever suitable data
exists, traffic information can be taken into account in the route calculation.
Button
Description
Use this switch to
enable or disable the TMC receiver that can receive
real-time traffic information. The rest of the buttons below are all related
to the TMC function and are available only if the receiver is enabled.
Normally you do not need to tune to a station with TMC data. The tuner
automatically sweeps through the FM frequency range to find the
appropriate stations broadcasting traffic information. Turn this switch
off
and set the frequency manually if needed.
With this switch on, the software receives traffic information from the
more reliable paid sources only.
Turn this switch off to receive traffic
information from both paid and free to public sources.
This setting determines how your software uses the received real-
time
traffic information in route calculation. When calculating a new route, or
when recalculation becomes necessary based on the received Traffic
events, your software avoids traffic events if it makes sense.
You can also set the minimum delay that
triggers route recalculation,
and you can instruct the application if you want to confirm every
recalculation.
Tap this button to open the list of t
raffic event types, and select which
events to take into account in route calculation.
5.3.4 Route settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
Button
Description
You can set the type of vehicle you will use to navigate the route. Based
upon this setting, some of the road types can be excluded from the
route, or some of the restrictions may not be taken into account in route
calculation.
You can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle profile, or you can
even create new vehicle profiles if you tap More.
On-road navigation
creates a turn by turn itinerary using the road
network on the map. Switch to off-
road navigation to navigate between
destinations in a straight line.
The route calculation can be optimised for different situations and
vehicle types by changing the planning method. See below for details.
