XM Nav Traffic

[JPalma1025]

Hello all, just coming out of a Maxima into a 2011 Genesis 4.6 and my Nav Traffic is active. My question is how do i use it? In the Maxima i could check traffic around me, set the preferences for my routes; avoid highways/toll roads etc. Am I missing something in the vehicle nav? Is the Genesis nav as is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Some of these functions (e.g., avoiding specified areas) are available independently of the XM traffic service. The DIS manual covers it all. You'll find that the value of XM traffic depends heavily on where you live/drive. In my area, the information display was not particularly helpful, and was sometimes flat-out wrong. But I've read than there are some metropolitan areas where it's quite useful.

XM Nav Traffic is a very passive non-interactive system. It does not allow much in the way of avoiding the traffic issues. Im pretty sure Hyundai could do better.

Isn't that partly what Blue Link offers (or will offer, because 2013 is the earliest it will be available on the Genesis)?

Here in Boston it comes in handy. It's amazing to think that it's so basic
