Traffic bulletins* You can display the traffic bulletins from radio stations that broadcast the TMC (Traffic Mes- sage Channel) of a traffic information service. This information from the traffic information service is continuously updated on the basis of measurement data from traffic control centers and information on traffic congestion. During destination guidance, traffic bulletins that are relevant to areas along the route are automatically displayed and taken into account in the route planning. You can open all traffic bulletins manually via iDrive. The traffic bulletins are shown in the map view.
Real Time Traffic Information End-User Provisions Certain BMW models equipped with navigation have the capability to display real-time traffic information. If your system has this capability the following additional terms and conditions apply: An End-User shall no longer have the right to use the Traffic Data in the event that the End- User is in material breach of the terms and con- ditions contained herein.

Traffic bulletins during destination guidance System response will vary depending on whether or not "Dynamic guidance" is selected, refer to page 141. During destination guidance, traffic obstruc- tions on the route are taken into consideration. Information on sources of great danger, such as wrong-way drivers, is displayed regardless of the setting.
Displaying traffic obstructions When the navigation system receives a traffic obstruction message and "Dynamic guidance" is not selected, you will be shown certain infor- mation, such as the length of the traffic jam, when you are approx. 30 miles/50 km away from the traffic obstruction. The last possible detour exit is indicated just before you reach it. This information is displayed even if you have called up another application on the Control Display.
Selecting a detour Select the "Dynamic guidance" is activated for the current destination guidance.
symbol: "Detour".
Dynamic route planning When "Dynamic guidance" is selected, the route will be changed automatically in the event of a traffic obstruction. The system will not point out traffic obstructions on the original route. Depending on the road type and the kind and extent of the traffic obstruction, the newly cal- culated route may lead through the traffic obstruction.
