About RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC), also known as RDS-TMC, transmits traffic information as a radio
signal and is available free of charge in many countries.
TMC is not a TomTom service, but is available when using the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver.
Note: TMC is not available in all countries. To check the availability of TMC services in your
country, go to tomtom.com/5826.
TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by TMC.
The route bar
The route bar is shown when you have planned a route. It has an arrival information panel at the
top, and a bar with symbols underneath.
Tip: You can also choose to see a wider route bar showing additional route information (not
available on all devices or apps).
Note: The distance ahead shown by the route bar depends on the overall length of your route.
The arrival information panel shows the following information:
Tip: If your destination is in a different time zone, you see a plus (+)
or a minus (-) sign and the time difference in hours and half hours in
the arrival information panel. The estimated time of arrival is the
local time at your destination.
 The estimated time that you will arrive at your destination.
 The length of time to drive to the destination from your current
location.

available near your destination.
If you have stops on your route, select this panel to change between
information about the next stop and your final destination.
You can choose the information you see on the arrival information panel.

mation, a symbol showing traffic with a cross appears underneath the
