Green Routing - Blaupunkt Chicago 600 Operating Instructions Manual

•

Whenever data exist, route calculation takes into account statistical traffic data for the given

day of week and time of day (page 69).

Real-time Traffic events are also taken into account and sometimes greatly modify the route.

Blaupunkt Navigation automatically recalculates the route if you deviate from the proposed

itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the recommended route.

For further information about Route settings, see page 76.

Route calculation is not only about finding the quickest or shortest route. For some of the

vehicle types, you can also check the fuel consumption and CO

route, and you can create cost effective routes with less effect on the environment.

In Settings, select

the average fuel price. You can also select whether you want to see the difference between

your route and the green route even if the selected routing method is not Green.

After the above parameters are set, select

get a fast but also fuel efficient route. Note that travel cost and CO

estimations only. They cannot take elevations, turns, curves and traffic conditions into

account. Also, this routing is not meant to give you the "greenest" route of all. It is still

important to travel quickly so the result is a fast route with low fuel consumption and CO

emission.

With a vehicle type where green routing is selectable, whichever route planning method is

selected, the Green details are also shown when you confirm the route:

If the selected route planning method is not Green, and you have allowed the application to

show the green alternative, the price, fuel consumption and CO

between your selected route and the Green route are also shown on this screen:
