Traffic information using RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
Note: The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products
and is also available as an accessory for other products. For more information,
visit tomtom.com.
Your TomTom navigation device uses TMC traffic information to warn you
about traffic delays along your route and how you can avoid them.
You can receive traffic information on your TomTom EASE using the TomTom
RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver.
TMC traffic information, also known as RDS-TMC, is transmitted on FM radio.
The signal is broadcast by radio stations in several countries on the same fre-
quency as their normal radio programs.
Important:TMC is not available in all country regions. The Traffic Message
Channel is not a TomTom Service and TomTom is not responsible for the
availability or quality of traffic information provided by TMC. To check if TMC
is available in your country region, visit tomtom.com.
Using traffic information
To start using TMC, connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the
USB connector on your device.
As soon as you start receiving traffic information, the traffic sidebar
is shown on the right side of the Driving View. The traffic sidebar
warns you about any traffic incidents on your route.
In this example, there is a traffic jam on your route 9 miles ahead that
will cause an expected delay of 38 minutes.
These symbols are shown at the top of the traffic sidebar:
Your EASE has the latest RDS-TMC traffic information.
Your EASE is waiting to download the latest RDS-TMC traffic information
as soon as it is available.
Your EASE is searching for a radio station that carries RDS-TMC traffic
information.
