XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)
The vehicle's navigation system may have an XM NavTraffic™ receiver. XM NavTraffic™ is a subscription service provided via XM™ Satellite Radio. XM NavTraffic™ provides real-time traffic information fully integrated to the navigation system to display current traffic conditions for a driver’s chosen route. XM NavTraffic™ allows drivers to make the most informed, timesaving routing decisions.
XM NavTraffic™ is powered by NAVTEQ Traffic™ data which provides aggregate, quality tested information from the leading commercial and public traffic data providers including government departments of transportation, police, and emergency services, road sensors, cameras, and airborne reports. Three types of traffic information for major roadways are displayed on the navigation system:
| • | Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as accidents and disabled vehicles |
| • | Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road construction and road closures |
| • | Traffic flow information (rate of speed data) |
Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by the XM™ Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™ makes it possible for the navigation system to provide continuously updated traffic information personalized for a driver’s needs.
XM NavTraffic™ currently broadcasts the traffic information for 20 markets nationally: Atlanta, GA, Baltimore*, MD, Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Dallas/Ft Worth*, TX, Detroit, MI, Houston, TX, Los Angeles, CA, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale*, FL, Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN, New York City, NY, Orlando, FL, Philadelphia, PA, Phoenix, AZ, Pittsburgh, PA, San Diego, CA, San Francisco/Oakland, CA, San Jose, CA, Seattle, WA, St. Louis*, MO, Tampa, FL, and Washington, D.C. The service may be available in more cities in the future. Visit xmnavtraffic.com for more details on local coverage.
