Tmc (Traffic Message Channel) - Medion Navigation Unit Operating Instructions Manual

TMC (Traffic Message Channel)

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a digital radio data service that functions
in a similar way to RDS and is used to transmit disruptions to traffic to a suitable
reception device.
The traffic information is continuously transmitted across FM.
The user is less dependent on the half-hourly broadcast traffic information, because
the signal is continuously transmitted. Apart from this, important information, as in
the case of people driving on the wrong side of the road for example, can be
passed on immediately.
The transmission is planned for the whole of Europe and is already offered by radio
transmitters in many countries. The precision of the TMC messages can deviate
greatly according to the country.
The evaluation of TMC messages is not supported by every type of navigation soft-
ware. Enquire whether your system supports TMC before the possible purchase of
a TMC receiver.
