RDS - Currently, the Radio Data System (RDS) technology is
supported by most Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs), Windows
Mobile smartphones and PocketPCs. The TMC messages are received
by drivers via an RDS receiver (built-in or stand-alone). An external
antenna is also required. The information is continuously updated.
Internet - Most Windows Mobile smartphones and certain PocketPCs
(only in case of Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone Edition) use a
GPRS (internet) connection to receive traffic information. The
information is updated at a time interval specified by the user.
Traffic information is available for selected countries and
selected products!
When the RDS is selected, the Traffic interval setting is
disabled. Only for the internet update you can choose the
update interval.

commercial TMC) are very comprehensive and at the highest industry
standards. You must buy and activate this service.
