How do I reroute given the following scenario:
I'm on a highway with many miles to go. Traffic is crawling due to an accident about a mile away. There is an exit ahead some distance ahead. Do I take it?
Ideally, I would want to tell my XXL 540 to consider three new factors - my estimated speed along the slow section of the current route, where the slowdown begins, and where it ends.
This is the sort of info used with the traffic receiver: i.e. speed between exits.
How do I use my TomTom to help decide whether to take the exit? Can I easily tell it to avoid only the section of highway between the next two exits?
If I use the "roadblock" feature, what assumptions will the software make? It appears to ask the length of the "roadblock", but not ask when it begins.
Does it assume that a roadblock is literally a blocked road, or that it is actually some sort of slowdown?
