The running copy of TrafficWatch can be displayed using the 
QuickLaunch thus WayPoint can be used to view TrafficWatch at 
any time by calling up QuickLaunch.
It is also possible to use TrafficWatch without using QuickLaunch. 
It can be started with Start > Programs > TrafficWatch. When 
starting TrafficWatch in this way it is possible to switch between 
WayPoint and TrafficWatch directly using the WayPoint hardware 
button.
If the Internet connection is lost the time is recorded and if the data 
becomes too old to be useful a warning will appear.
The GPS location is shown as a blue dot on the map screen. If you 
are driving the blue dot will track your position and move on the 
screen. The screen will attempt to follow your position but if you 
travel too far the unit will need to obtain a new map. This will be 
done automatically if you have a live Internet connection.
The data is updated automatically. A progress bar shows when 
data is being updated.
To view the data tap the road icon from the lower right corner of the 
today screen, start QuickLaunch again, or reselect the program.
The data will pop forward automatically if the Internet connection is 
lost. The time is recorded and if the data becomes too old to be 
useful a warning will appear.
Interpreting the Data
The traffic data is shown on a Map that indicates freeways and 
some major surface streets for orientation. There are several forms 
of data than may be shown on the map as illustrated in Figure 3.
