XM NavTrafficinformation is a subscription ser-
vice offered by XM Satellite Radio.
This service provides real-time information re-
garding traffic flow, accidents, road construction
and other incidents, where available.
XM NavTraffic combines information from com-
mercial and public traffic data providers includ-
ing government departments of transportation,
police, emergency services, road sensors, cam-
eras and aircraft reports. The traffic information
is broadcast to the vehicle by the XM satellites.
Available traffic information on the route the
driver selected is shown on the navigation
screen so traffic conditions between you and the
destination are known. Three types of real-time
traffic information for major roadways are shown
on the navigation system:
● Unscheduled traffic data for example, acci-
dents and disabled vehicles.
● Scheduled traffic data, for example road con-
struction and road closures.
● Traffic flow information (rate of speed data) .
