About Usage Modes

There are two usage modes: Automobile and Pedestrian. In Automobile mode, your nüvifone calculates routes for automobiles. These routes obey traffic laws, such as one-way streets. Your nüvifone uses typical automobile speeds when estimating your arrival time.

In Pedestrian mode, your nüvifone calculates routes for walking. These routes avoid highways in favor of smaller streets. Your nüvifone uses typical walking speeds when estimating your arrival time.

Your nüvifone automatically changes between Automobile mode and Pedestrian mode based on the following criteria:

  • If you are not navigating a route, and the nüvifone is in the cradle, it is in Automobile mode.
  • If you are not navigating a route, and the nüvifone is not in the cradle, it is in Pedestrian mode.
  • If you are navigating a route, the nüvifone remains in the mode in which the route was created.
  • If you create a route that is longer than 5 miles, the nüvifone uses Automobile mode.

There are separate route preferences for each usage mode. For more information, see page 71.

About Traffic

This service is available as a paid subscription. A data connection is required for this feature.

Understand Traffic on Your Route

When calculating your route, the nüvifone examines the current traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest time. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are navigating, the nüvifone automatically recalculates the route. You might still be routed through traffic if no better alternative routes exist.

If a non-severe traffic delay occurs on your route, the traffic icon shows how much time the delay has added to your route. This time is already included in your estimated arrival time.
