Avoiding Traffic

MSN Direct provides local traffic 

information for a large number of 

metropolitan areas. To learn more about 

the type of traffic data available in your 

area, go to 

www.msndirect.com 

/WhatYouGet

When calculating your route, the 

nüvi examines the current traffic and 

automatically optimizes the route for the 

shortest time. You might still be routed 

through traffic if no alternative roads 

exist. If a severe traffic delay occurs on 

your route while you are navigating, the 

nüvi automatically recalculates the route.
When you receive

 traffic information, 

 traffic icon

 appears in the top left 

corner of the Map page. The t

raffic icon 

changes color to indicate the severity of 

traffic conditions on your route or the 

road you are currently traveling. Touch 

the icon to view the Traffic menu. 

Using Hands-Free Features

Hands-free phone features are available 

only if your nüvi and your mobile phone 

have Bluetooth wireless technology. 

Depending on your phone, some hands-

free phone features will not be available 

on your nüvi. To use the hands-free 

features, you must pair your phone and 

your nüvi.
