Overview

Users receive information about the traffic and are alerted to events on their route.

Events along the route

All important events the driver may encounter are visualized on the map and in the horizon panel on the side.

The horizon panel provides advance information about events along the route, such as planned charging points, upcoming rest areas, speed cameras, and fuel stations. Events are displayed in the horizon panel based on distance and priority.

All events are tappable and show more information when selected. (See Traffic and delay for more information.)

Show more upcoming information

When the next instruction is still far away — for example, on a longer motorway — the horizon panel automatically extends to show more upcoming events along the path.

All events along the route for the upcoming 35 km (in online navigation) are shown in chronological order, allowing the user to scroll through them.

Drivers can disable the automatic extension of the horizon panel in the settings. When disabled, only a maximum of two events will be shown.

Traffic and delay

Traffic delays are shown when drivers are still far from the actual location, giving them time to prepare.

Traffic delay information is shown in the event card alongside the distance to the event.

For safety reasons, drivers are alerted when approaching the end of a traffic jam (especially in high-speed situations). This way, they can slow down in time and avoid a potential accident.

Road works

Drivers are alerted as they approach road works.

If the road works cause traffic delays, this is also shown in the event card.

Safety cameras

Drivers are alerted as they approach safety cameras. These include speed cameras (both fixed and mobile), average speed zones, red-light cameras, and restriction cameras.

If a driver is speeding near a camera, the event panel is highlighted.

Railroad crossings

Drivers are alerted to railroad crossings when approaching them, so they can take extra caution and stop if necessary.

The warning sign reflects the real-world road sign.

Hazards

Drivers are alerted to hazardous events along the way, such as traffic incidents (accidents, broken-down vehicles), weather hazards (fog, slippery roads), and road hazards (bad surface conditions, people on the road, etc.).

The warning icon reflects the hazard type.

Horizon event – next charging stop

When a route includes charging stops, the next charging stop is shown in the horizon panel.

The panel displays estimated charging time, battery level on arrival, and charger availability at the station.

Horizon event – charging stations

Charging stations are suggested along the route for EV drivers. Availability is based on the compatible charger with the highest charging speed.

Horizon event – rest area

Rest areas show amenities such as parking lots, restaurants, petrol stations, and charging stations.

For charging, the availability is shown for the compatible charger with the highest speed.

Horizon event – petrol stations

For ICE vehicles, upcoming petrol stations along the route are displayed.

Interact while driving

From the map, users can perform the following actions:

• Change the view to route overview
• Report a speed camera
• Mute guidance sounds and alerts
• Toggle between map views: 3D Direction Up, 2D Direction Up, or 2D North Up

In the route overview, drivers can view the complete itinerary with all stops. The map zooms out to show the remaining route.

Better route proposal

If auto rerouting is turned off, the driver will be notified when a better route is available.

Drivers can accept the new route by steering in that direction or tapping the event to view more details.

If auto rerouting is turned on, the new route is applied automatically, and the driver is notified of the changes afterward.
