Tmc (Traffic Message Channel) - Medion Navigation Unit Manual

TMC (T M C )
RAFFIC ESSAGE HANNEL
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a digital radio data ser-
vice 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 im-
mediately.
The transmission is planned for the whole of Europe and is al-
ready offered by radio transmitters in many countries. The preci-
sion of the TMC messages can deviate greatly according to the
country.
