Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given day of week and time of day. Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route. Your software automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route. 5.1.3 Green routing Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO2 emission when planning a route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on the environment. In Route settings, you can edit the parameters of the selected vehicle. Enter the fuel consumption values and the price of the fuel. You can also select whether you want to see the difference between your route and the green route even if the selected routing method is not Green. After the above parameters are set, select as route planning method to get a fast but also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO2 emission calculations are estimations only. They cannot take elevations, turns, curves and traffic conditions into account. Also, this routing is not meant to give you the "greenest" route of all. It is still important to travel quickly so the result is a fast route with low fuel consumption and CO2 emission. With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is selected, the Green details are also shown when you confirm the route: If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to show the green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO2 emission differences between your selected route and the Green route are also shown on this screen: Tap the field with these details to switch the route to Green immediately. 66
