Traffic—TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
Your software can provide you with even better routes when it uses Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
information. TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting
real-time traffic and weather information.
Note: TMC may not be available in your country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details.
Your Motonav application contains the TMC receiver that is needed to receive Traffic events.
If Traffic information is available at your location, the software automatically uses the traffic updates it
receives. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver automatically searches the FM
radio stations for TMC data and uses the information in route planning. The moment your software
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.
An icon appears on the map to show you when traffic events are received. The icon shows the
status of the traffic receiver when there are no traffic events on your route; otherwise it shows
the next traffic on your route.
Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed with an alternate color on the map, and small
symbols above the road show the nature of the event.
