TomTom 510 Reference Guide

If you are driving close to a country border, your TomTom 

device may tune to a radio station from a neigbouring 

country. If this happens you will only receive RDS-TMC 

traffic information for the neighbouring country.
To avoid tuning to a radio station in another country, set the 

required country as follows:
1. Tap the screen to open the Main Menu.
2. Tap TomTom Traffic.
3. Tap Select RDS-TMC country.
4. Select the country that you want to receive traffic reports 

for.

Your TomTom device searches for a radio station located in 

the country you have chosen.

Traffic incidents are shown in the Driving View and on the 

Traffic bar.
Incidents are shown on the Traffic bar, in the order that they 

occur along your planned route.
The estimated time for any delay is shown next to the 

incident symbol.
The distance from your current location to the next Traffic 

incident on your route, is shown at the bottom of the Traffic 

bar.
Incidents are also shown in the Driving View, so that you can 

view the precise location of any incident.

For more detailed information about specific Traffic 

incidents, tap the Traffic bar, then tap Show traffic info.

Tap the Traffic bar in the Driving View to open the Traffic 

Status menu.
