COMAND navigation system*

(dynamic route guidance with RDS-
TMC)
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits free-
of-charge RDS-TMC traffic reports in addi-
tion to the radio programme. COMAND can
receive the RDS-TMC traffic reports and
take them into consideration for dynamic
route guidance. The navigation system is
thus able to, for example, guide you around
a traffic jam.
There may be differences between the re-
ports received and the actual traffic situa-
tion.
