Traffic information using RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio
stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their
programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.
Your TomTom device uses this information to warn you about traffic delays
along your route and how you can avoid them.
To use TMC traffic information, you need a TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic
Receiver that comes with some TomTom devices or is available as an
accessory for others. For more information on which TomTom devices
support RDS-TMC receivers, visit www.tomtom.com.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic
information provided by TMC.
TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit www.tomtom.com to
check if it is available in your country or region.
Setting up TMC
To start using TMC, all you need to do is connect the RDS-TMC Traffic
Receiver to your TomTom device or to the windscreen mount of your
TomTom device, depending on your product.
The receiver works best when mounted in a vertical position, so if possible, try
to place your TomTom device towards the drivers side corner of the
windscreen so that the receiver can be secured out side of your field of vision.
After you have finished positioning the receiver switch your TomTom device
on. The Traffic sidebar is shown on the right-hand side of the Driving View and
your device searches for a radio station that has RDS-TMC information.
