2014 SKODA OCTAVIA Columbus Infotinment Navigation System Manual

The timing of the navigation announcement depends on the type of road and
the driving speed. For example, on motorways the first announcement is made
about 2000 m (6000 ft) before the location where you want to leave the mo-
torway.
During dynamic route guidance, the unit notifies the driver of traffic problems.
If a new route is calculated due to traffic problems, the Calculating the route...
announcement is sounded.
Set the output volume of the navigation announcements or mute it during a
phone call » page 49.
Route
When there is a calculated route to the destination, the recommended route is
displayed.

The traffic is getting denser. For this reason, information on the current road
and traffic conditions will continue to gain in importance.
TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance when
there are traffic disruptions.
The device can obtain this information from the following sources: 

If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listen-
ing to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be
turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traf-
fic reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for
the content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.
Switching dynamic route on/off

→ Route Options → Dynamic route .
When the Dynamic route » page 48 function is switched on, the traffic reports
influence the dynamic route guidance by means of TMC messages.

Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are displayed in the map by means of a coloured symbol (e.g., 
, 
, 
, etc.). Traffic
problems, which do not affect the route, are displayed in the map by means of
a grey symbol. The direction in which a traffic problem is found, is displayed by
means of an arrow in the symbol.
Dynamic route switched off
You are not alerted to received traffic disruptions along your route and are gui-
ded through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic
reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the
button 

If one of the announced traffic disruptions lies on your route, you can switch on dynamic route guidance during your current route guidance or block the
route manually » page 63.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
