50 Hours per Year Wasted
For years, drivers have relied on radio traffic reports for current traffic conditions. These reports are quick snapshots of traffic conditions, highlighting only a few major events. The ability of a driver to plan or change a travel route based on these reports is limited by the information provided. As a result, the average rush hour driver spends over 50 hours per year sitting idle in traffic*, slowly crawling towards a destination. While traffic will always be a factor, the lack of detailed traffic information for a metro market is no longer a problem. The future of traffic information has arrived with the new XM NavTrafficT service.

Nation's 1st Satellite Data Traffic Service
XM NavTrafficT, powered by NAVTEQ TrafficT, is the nation's first satellite-based data traffic information service that enables a vehicle's on-board GPS navigation system to display current traffic information for select metropolitan areas, including a driver's chosen route. A driver can now see the location specific traffic detail not only at their current location, but also along their planned travel route.

XM NavTraffic - Comprehensive Data Service

• Traffic flow information (the actual traffic speed data provided by various local sources) - where available
• Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as accidents, disabled vehicles, and weather-related issues
• Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road construction and road closures

Setting the Standard for Traffic Information
XM NavTraffic and NAVTEQ Traffic are setting the standard as the next-generation technology platform for traffic information, designed for flexible industry-wide adoption by automakers and aftermarket system manufacturers.

XM NavTraffic Launch on the 2005 Acura RL
The XM NavTraffic system debuts this fall as a standard feature on the all-new 2005 Acura RL . Other car company and aftermarket applications are expected in the near future.
