TMC information
Your ROUTE 66 product allows you to receive the latest traffic messages on your device. Thus, you can avoid
traffic jams, road works or accidents that occur along your route.
The traffic information is gathered by specialized traffic-monitoring centres. Then, the information is broadcast
via the Traffic Message Channel (TMC). Depending on the device you use, you can choose one of the following
solutions to update your list of traffic messages:
ƒ
TMC information via RDS
Currently, the Radio Data System (RDS) technology is supported by most Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs),
Windows Mobile smartphones and PocketPCs. The TMC messages are received by drivers via an RDS receiver
(built-in or stand-alone). An external antenna is also required. The information is continuously updated.
ƒ
TMC information via Internet
Most Windows Mobile smartphones and certain PocketPCs (only in case of Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone
Edition) use a GPRS (internet) connection to receive traffic information. The information is updated at a time
interval specified by the user.
The available traffic messages are sorted by country and then alphabetically.
