Traffic on Your Route When calculating your route, the aera 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 aera 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 shows how much time the delay has added to your route. This time is included in your estimated arrival time.
