How Do I Receive Current Traffic Information Via Tmc; How Will I Know When A Traffic Event Occurs - Mio MOOV V Series Hardware Manual

How do I receive current traffic
information via TMC?
Traffic information is not available on all models and is only available in selected countries.
Your Mio can receive current traffic information for all main roads and motorways, enabling you to avoid potential
delays on your route. Event messages and traffic icons will display as they occur. If an event message obscures your
current location, the map will adjust to display both the message and your location.
How does my Mio receive traffic information?
Depending on your model, you may receive current traffic information on your Mio using the built-in TMC receiver or
via the Mio traffic accessory kit. The traffic accessory kit may be sold separately.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) broadcasts real-time traffic and weather information via the FM Radio Data
System (RDS). FM radio stations transmit TMC data on a cycle of several minutes, with hundreds of events able to
be broadcast to TMC receivers.
You have to pay for TMC service on some models and in some countries.

How will I know when a Traffic Event occurs?

Incoming events are handled according to your Traffic preferences.
When travelling through an area in which you can receive traffic updates, your Mio will decode these events and
display them on-screen. An icon will display at the event location on the map screens, and an audible warning is
given if an event is on your route. Where an event spans a specific distance, the road will be highlighted and arrows
will indicate the direction affected.
