If you are licensed for ActiveTraffic, and a traffic delay is found on your planned route, CoPilot may offer an alternate route at any point during your trip.


A new route will be offered if the traffic delay is greater than 10 minutes, and there is a quicker route available. CoPilot will announce "Traffic Alert," and it will display a message like the one in the screen below. 



Choosing a route around traffic

When you receive a traffic alert, you can:

  • Follow the new route: Tap Accept and CoPilot will automatically switch to the faster route. 
  • Ignore the alert: Tap the X at the top of the alert to close it or wait 15 seconds and it will automatically disappear.
  • Review the new route: Tap View and an Alternate Traffic Route window will open. The time and distance for the new route will be shown in a blue callout box. (The current route will be shown in a white callout.)



  1. If you want to follow the alternate route, tap the Start button to begin navigation.
  2. If you want to stay on the existing route, tap the X to close the Alternate Traffic Route screen and resume your previous trip.


Routes around road closures 

If CoPilot's ActiveTraffic finds a road closure when you are first calculating your route, you will receive the following voice notification that you are being rerouted: "Calculating alternate route due to closure on [road name]".


To view the closure, go to the map screen. The closure is shown as a black line over the road you might have expected CoPilot to take.


If ActiveTraffic finds a closure at any point during your trip, it will automatically reroute around the closure and issue a voice notification that you are being rerouted. It will not display a pop-up message as it does when you are given the option of whether to reroute around a traffic-related delay.
