Using FM Traffic

The color of the traffic icon indicates the 

severity of the traffic delay. 

 

Green

Low severity Traffic is flowing 

normally.

 

Yellow

Medium 

severity

Traffic is slightly 

congested.

Red

High 

severity

Traffic is heavily 

congested or 

stopped.

When calculating your route, the 

nüvi examines the current traffic and 

automatically optimizes the route for 

the shortest time. If a severe traffic 

delay occurs on your route while you 

are navigating, the nüvi automatically 

recalculates the route. You might still 

be routed through traffic if no better 

alternative routes exist. 

If a non-severe traffic delay occurs on 

your route, the traffic icon displays a tab 

that shows how much time the delay has 

added to your route. This time is already 

included in your estimated arrival time.
