Using a Garmin

®

 GTM 10 FM TMC Traffic Receiver, 

your Garmin GPS device can receive and use Traffic 

Message Channel (TMC) traffic information broadcast 

over the FM Radio Data System (RDS). When a traffic 

message is received, your GPS device can use the 

traffic information to dynamically change your route to 

avoid the traffic incident. No more changing the radio 

stations to hear the latest traffic report! 

The US and UK versions of the GTM 10 provide pay 

service subscriptions. Your subscription activates when 

the GTM 10 is installed and first receives traffic signals 

from the pay service. The UK subscription is a lifetime 

subscription; it does not expire. 
The European version of the GTM 10 uses the free 

services available in many countries in Europe. You 

can use the free services available or purchase a 

subscription for pay service, where available. 

To renew your subscription or purchase an additional 

subscription, go to the Garmin’s FM Traffic Web site at 

To purchase a subscription, you need the GTM 10 

traffic receiver’s unit ID. Refer to your GPS device’s 

Owner’s Manual to retrieve your GTM 10’s unit ID. 
Follow the steps on the Web site to obtain a 25-

character Traffic Subscription Code. Enter this code 

into your Garmin GPS unit to access pay services. Use 

this area to record your Traffic Subscription Code.
