4.8 TMC 
Mio Map 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. 
You need a TMC receiver attached to your Mio DigiWalker to receive TMC 
information. 
Mio Map 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 Mio Map 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 (4.4) by tapping the 
TMC button. 
 
 
4.8.1  List of TMC messages 
The main screen of the TMC section shows a list of current TMC messages ordered 
by their distance from your current location. 
 
Tap the arrows to turn the page, and see traffic difficulties farther away from your 
current position, or press Settings to configure the TMC subsystem. This opens a 
new window.
