Traffic information
You can obtain traffic information in two ways:
• TomTom Traffic
• Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
Important: Reliable TMC Traffic reception is highly dependent upon optimal
antenna placement, vehicle features such as windshield reflective shielding,
the surrounding environment such as mountains and high buildings and RDS-
TMC Radio station transmission signal strength.
Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield which
might prevent a navigation device from locating your current position. If this
is a problem in your vehicle, use the TomTom External Antenna Kit (available
as an accessory).
