Traffic Information (Optional)
What is the Traffic Message Channel?
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System
(RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. Data messages are
received silently, decoded, and delivered to a TMC-enabled navigation system that can
offer dynamic route guidance – alerting the driver to a problem on the planned route and
calculating an alternative route to avoid the incident.
Coverage of the Service
TMC Services cover nearly all of Western Europe. Each service is transmitted by a national,
regional, or local broadcaster. TMC Service provides traffic information for monitored roads
only, motorways and main roads. TMC radio transmissions reception can change from area
to area, depending on weather conditions, static electricity, power lines, and other natural or
man-made conditions.
Disclaimer
Destinator Technologies is not responsible for any damage caused by an accident due
to unreliable TMC radio transmissions by national, regional, or local broadcasters caused
by TMC service restrictions, or by natural and man-made conditions that prevent real-time
traffic and weather information from being delivered to the TMC-enabled navigation system.
Destinator Technologies is not responsible for the quality or accuracy of the events
broadcast and the method by which they are displayed.
