GPS question

[Zrider]

Lately I've noticed additional coloring on GPS. Green, sometimes yellow lines along main routes? What does it mean?

Traffic speed. Green=normal Yellow=slower, Red=very slow/stop & go.
In your settings, whether you have the factory nav, smartphone app, or dedicated GPS device, there will be an option to turn Traffic on or off.

This is part of the Sirius XM Travel Link. Specifically the Traffic Link. At the moment Sirius XM is doing Free Days for anyone that has Sirius XM equipped on their vehicle so they can hopefully be convinced to get a subscription.

Now as a Sirius XM subscriber, I can say that I personally found Travel to be more useful for my needs, but I am aware that the Traffic Link is very accurate on rerouting when a destination is set and an accident has happened.

This is a bit different than the Smart Phone GPS. This is Factory Nav using the Sirius XM Traffic Link. Sirius XM is doing a Free event for all right now and it's a good time to try it out

I have Sirius XM. How do you enable Travel Link?

If you have the Factory Navigation you simply call Sirius XM. Travel Link is a whopping $1.99 a month. Traffic Link is $4.99 I believe(double check with them)
