Most motorists want to know about traffic jams in advance. Cars equipped with navigators can receive such information in advance. It is enough to configure the "Traffic" in the navigator.
It is necessary
- -GPRS, WiMax, SkyLink connection;
- -navigator,
- -computer for synchronization.
Instructions
Step 1
You can install Garmin's third-party app, Garmin Navitel. You can download the program completely free of charge on the official website. Install it on your computer. Connect a navigator to it. The Garmin Navitel interface works with most modern device operating systems. Select "Synchronize" from the "File" menu. Garmin will process the maps available on the navigator and add a number of its own (a request for this operation will be displayed during synchronization). In addition, the Garmin: Car on the road feature will be added to the navigator.
Step 2
To work with the Garmin: Car on the road app, launch it on your navigator. The program will ask for consent to use GPS and mobile Internet (in Russia, the SkyLink signal is the most stable, followed by GPRS and WiMax power). Select "Allow". A map with major roads will be displayed, followed by clusters of cars, and a little later, individual cars. This system is highly accurate, so you can protect yourself from traffic jams and save travel time.
Step 3
You can set up "Traffic jams" on the Navitel navigators common in Russia. Update the program version to the latest available one. Go to the settings of the "Navitel. Navigator" program, select "Other". Check the boxes next to the "Traffic" value. Now information about the traffic situation is available to you when the navigator is connected to the Internet.
Step 4
If you do not yet use a Sim card or a USB modem in your navigator, you can distribute the Internet via wi-fi from your mobile device. This method will not be the fastest, but it can help out in a difficult situation on the road.
