That is something in how the manufacturer does that but that is not my question as MNF can't help/solve that.

However, it seems that no further releases will come for my head unit, so the id will now remain constant. That means I could switch to HD Traffic again, but before I do that I want to know how it works (as I no longer can see/test that myself at this moment).

In the past Navigator automatically switched to a different route based on the traffic, even if I had to travel 600 km and the traffic jam was after 450 km. That is ridiculous as by the time I have reached that traffic jam (after 4-5 hours and 450 km), it probably does not exist at all anymore.

So I want to decide myself.

Most apps having this HD Traffic options have a setting like:

Where the first two options give the user 30 seconds (or 45? or 60?) to choose a route, and the 3rd just waits for the user to pick a route.

And it does this every hour or so in case the traffic jam is quite persistent (had that in Germany when I did have to travel 830 km with a traffic jam after 600 km for which the road had to be closed after some time).

What is now implemented in MNF?

As I do NOT want MNF to make the decision for me.

(And the Support page doesn't mention this either. I think it should be updated: https://www.mapfactor.com/en/support/did-you-know/14-navigator-3-0-live-hd-traffic-information/)

And if this is not implemented then this is a feature request :)

Feature request:

To select an alternate route in case of traffic jam: 

- Use above mentioned 3 options in the settings.

- Check/Recalculate every hour or 100 km (what comes first) in case of a "persistent" traffic jam.
