Dynamic route planning
Unlike dynamic guidance, which provides information about traffic conditions on your
route and on request about local traffic conditions, dynamic route planning takes into
account the whole of the current traffic situation in a configurable area (horizon) in
the vicinity of the current position of the car. If a traffic obstruction (e.g. stationary
traffic) is reported via TMC for the planned route, the navigation system will analyse
the information and calculate the anticipated delay.
If there is a traffic problem on the planned route, you will be informed of this by the
navigation system and may decide whether the system should take a detour by
changing the route in order to avoid the segment concerned or whether it would be
more sensible just to drive through the problem. You should base your decision on the
anticipated delay calculated by the system.
✎
The delay is calculated by the navigation system on the basis of the data transmitted
by the TMC station, which may not actually reflect the current situation.
✎
This function is only available if the map CD is inserted.
Dynamic route planning can be activated in the “Route selection” menu. ➽ page 56.
In addition, you may select criteria on which dynamic route planning should be based
in the “Settings - Dyn. route sett.” menu. ➽ page 69.
■ Automatic mode for dynamic route planning
Fully automatic dynamic route planning allows you to concentrate on what is
important. The navigation system plans the route, taking into account the current
traffic situation without you noticing.
☞
Activate the “Automatic” option in the “Settings –> Dyn. route sett.” menu.
✎
When Automatic mode is activated, no information is displayed regarding present
traffic problems. The route is always calculated based on the current traffic
situation received via TMC.
✎
Automatic mode is switched off in the factory settings.
