Rerouting due to traffic?

Questions

I’m wondering if routes are adapted while driving when e.g. a traffic jams, accidents or other relevant things occur?
I got stuck in traffic jams twice and they were already reported a while ago on e.g. Google Maps.

Also the live traffic seems a bit odd - so traffic is shown with red on the ramp off the Autobahn, where of course most people slow down :). Which is normal - so makes no sense to show. Same for roundabouts.

So, basically three questions:

  1. is the routing adaptive and does rerouting occur when neccessary/useful?

  2. is the realtime traffic a bit odd or delayed in certain areas?

  3. why is realtime traffic only shown when an active navigation is running?

Cheers

Stephen

    Hi

    If we are aware of traffic jams, accidents etc we will reroute you if that’s the best thing for the plan. Unfortunately the updates does not work very good in some areas. If you don’t follow a plan we don’t know where you are going and then we can’t warn you about a traffic incident or a traffic jam.

      Hi Linda,

      thanks for the response - I’ll test it again the next days/weeks.
      Regarding the live traffic without active navigation - I was thinking of something similar to google maps where the current traffic situation is displayed with color codes even without active navigation.

      Regards

      Stephen
