Traffic information using RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
You can receive traffic information on your TomTom using the TomTom RDS-
TMC Traffic Receiver. The TMC transmits traffic information as a radio signal.
Tip
: The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products
and available as an accessory for others. Visit tomtom.com for more
information.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio
stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their
programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.
Your TomTom navigation device uses this information to warn you about
traffic delays along your route and how you can avoid them.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic
information provided by TMC.
TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit tomtom.com to check if
it is available in your country or region.
Using RDS-TMC traffic information
As soon as you start receiving traffic information, the traffic sidebar is
shown on the right side of the Driving View. The traffic sidebar warns you
about any traffic incidents on your route.
In this example, there is a traffic jam on your route 9 miles ahead that will
cause an expected delay of 38 minutes.
To find the quickest route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the Traffic sidebar.
2. Tap Minimize traffic delays.
2. Tap Minimize traffic delays.
Your device looks for the quickest route to your destination.
The new route may also include traffic delays, or may even be the same
route as before.
3. Tap Done.
