I am wondering how the Nav/traffic works with the D3 does it announce the traffic problems when you are approching them. I just installed it in my 2003 Honda Odyessy. Any one got an answer

It will announce traffic problems if you have a route set in. Otherwise, you will pull up a text listing of all incidents in the area, that you can sort by distance from you, alphabetically, or type if incident.

I have yet to hear an announcement. So not sure how it actually works.

 

Example:

Yesterday the map showed an incident (car overturned icon) on the Capital Beltway in Maryland. It also showed a yellow dot for traffic flow info at the same location. This location was right between my home and office. I went to the Navi menu, punched in my destionation to be my home address. Selected the first route it suggested. I checked, and the route included the portion of the Beltway that had the car overturned icon and traffic flow info.

 

No announcement ever came. I arrived home, and the accident was still showing on the same spot.

 

So not sure when announcements ever initiate?

Was there a possible way to re-route, or were you stuck going through it?
