How Do I Use It?
TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
TRAX436 can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message
Channel (TMC) information is available. The TMC is a specific application
of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic
and weather information.
The TMC feature is enabled by default in TRAX436. TMC requires
subscription to the service provided by a separate supplier. There is a fee
for this service.
TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your
country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details.
If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, TRAX436 automatically
takes into account the TMC data received. You do not need to set anything
in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio
stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be
used in route planning. The moment TRAX436 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.
If necessary, you can change the settings related to TMC, or select a specific
radio station to receive. Tap the following buttons: , , .
