Chapter 9: Integrated Magellan Traffic

Re-routing Mode

: This mode will reroute the vehicle if a TMC event impacts the route and a faster alternative route is available.

9.2 Understanding How The TrafficKit Works

Please read the following statements before using the TrafficKit.

You can enable and disable TMC event categories. By default, all categories are enabled.

Selected TMC events will either alert and/or re-route you depending on the operating mode.

All selected event categories will be displayed on the map screen in the form of traffic event icons.

If you are not routing to a destination, the RDS function will only display TMC events on the map screen.

9.2.1 RDS-TMC Operating Modes

In the Magellan RoadMate, TMC events that impact your route can be processed in one of the following two modes:

•

Re-routing Mode. (Default) TMC events affecting your route will trigger the Magellan RoadMate to automatically

calculate a new route, if a faster alternative route is available.

•

Alert Mode

. You will receive reports on TMC events affecting your route in the form of warning messages on the

Magellan RoadMate screen.

How to set and use these two operating modes is discussed in the next chapters.

9.2.2 Selecting Categories of TMC Events

You may choose the TMC event categories you would like to be informed of as they occur:

Access the

Navigation Options

Scroll down the list and select

TMC Options.

Select

Incident Options.

In the displayed list, check all categories of TMC events (incidents) that you would like the Magellan RoadMate

to process and deselect events that are of no interest. Use the Down button to scroll to the bottom of the list.

For optimum routing Magellan recommends that you leave all of the boxes checked.

The existing categories of TMC events are listed at the beginning of this manual in

the Glossary.

Checking an option in this list implies that:

•

The Magellan RoadMate’s map screen will show ALL of the received

events pertaining to this category at their respective locations.

•

Any event from this category that occurs along the route will trigger the

calculation of an alternative route if the Magellan RoadMate decides

that the alternative route is faster.

Select the

Save

button to confirm all of your choices.

9.2.3 Re-routing Mode

Setting the Re-routing Mode

Access the

Navigation Options

Scroll down the list and select

TMC Options

Select

TMC Selection.

Unless you have already done so, check the

TMC Active

option

Check the

Use Alternative route

option (see Diagram 5 below). Note that this causes the button just underneath to

be renamed “Reroute option”.
