4.7  TMC (Traffic Message Channel) 
MioMap can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) 
information is available. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data 
System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. 
Note: TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. 
Ask your local dealer for coverage details. 
You need a TMC receiver attached to your PNA to receive TMC information. 
MioMap automatically takes into account the TMC information received. You do not 
need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM 
radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in 
route planning. The moment MioMap receives traffic information that may affect your 
route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will 
continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic 
conditions. 
The TMC subsystem can be started from the GPS Data screen (Page 29) by tappin
the TMC button.
