Avoiding Trafc

MSN Direct provides local trafc

information for a large number of

metropolitan areas. To learn more about the

type of trafc data available in your area, go

to www.msndirect.com/WhatYouGet.

When calculating your route, the

nüvi examines the current trafc and

automatically optimizes the route for the

shortest time. You might still be routed

through trafc if no alternative roads exist.

If a severe trafc delay occurs on your

route while you are navigating, the nüvi

automatically recalculates the route.

When you receive trafc information, a

trafc icon appears in the top left corner of

the Map page. The trafc icon changes color

to indicate the severity of trafc conditions

on your route or the road you are currently

traveling. Touch the icon to view the Trafc

menu.
