Traffic information using RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
Information from the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is used by your TomTom
navigation device when your device is docked in the car stereo.
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. See the Services and
Accessories leaflet for more information.
Using RDS-TMC traffic information
Changing traffic preferences
Use the Change Traffic preferences button to choose how traffic information
works on your device.
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 kilometres 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 Minimise 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.
