Default SatNav Traffic Detour

Hi, apologies if this has been discussed before. I'm new to Lexus, just got an NX 350H. Reading the Nav manual I can't see anything about it automatically suggesting a Detour if traffic problems are detected ahead. Surely it does this - and I'd rather find out now instead of ending up stuck in a 2 hour jam somewhere!

If the Nav does not have this functionality, Android Auto would be my fallback. But I don't think that can put the turn graphics in the HUD?

Would welcome any advice. Thanks.

I use AA/Waze exclusively and you're right, directions don't appear in the HUD. But the big screen splits, so I have my streaming audio on the other part. With that much real estate for the map, I can easily see what's going on with a glance in addition to the directions in words from the Waze dude. If I'm really in need, I can use up the entire screen with the map. I much prefer this along with warnings about construction, vehicles on the shoulders, stuff on the roads and of course, police activity.

yes its dynamic and it's a typical modern built-in Navi system. with that note the feature is free or 3 years for Lexus and subscribe afterwards if the owner want to keep the feature.

Drive Connect does this; it automatically reroutes and in some cases detects heavy traffic and asks if you want to go a faster route.

YMMV,

Thanks all for responding. Good to know the Standard Nav will re-route. I was going to jump straight to using AA but as there is remaining Drive Connect subscription on my car I will try it first and see how i get on.
