How does my B2+ receive traffic 
information? 

When used with the B2+, your Navman can receive current traffic information for all main roads and 

motorways, enabling you to avoid potential delays on your route. 
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) broadcasts real-time traffic and weather information via the FM 

Radio Data System (RDS). FM radio stations transmit TMC data on a cycle of several minutes, with 

hundreds of Events able to be broadcast to TMC receivers, such as the B2+.

Your current traffic status is indicated by the colour of the TMC icon in the bottom-left corner of the 

map screens.
