Traffic announcements
using TMC

Your Becker® MAP PILOT can receive
traffic announcements (TMC messages)
from radio stations.

Traffic announcements are transmitted by
radio stations via the TMC (Traffic Mes-
sage Channel) in addition to the radio
programme and are received and analysed
by the navigation system. Receiving traffic
announcements is free of charge.

The Becker® MAP PILOT constantly
checks whether there are any relevant an-
nouncements for the route that has been
set.
If the continuous checks determine that a
traffic announcement is relevant to route
guidance, the unit can automatically re-
calculate a new route to the destination
(See “TMC settings” on page 49.).

Displaying TMC messages

Once you have connected the Becker®
MAP PILOT to the unit holder, your
Becker® MAP PILOT will receive up-to-
date traffic announcements and dynamic
route calculation will be enabled (traffic
jam diversion). You can also view traffic
announcements directly.
Settings for TMC can be made as de-
scribed under “TMC settings” on
page 49.
> Select

TMC

from the main menu.

The message list appears.

Traffic announcements received via
TMCpro are indicated by the

sym-

bol.

Note:
TMC is not available in all countries
(currently only Belgium, Germany, Den-
mark, France, Italy, Great Britain, The
Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Switzer-
land and Spain).
You can receive traffic announcements
via TMCpro in Germany.

Note:
As the traffic announcements are trans-
mitted by radio stations, we cannot as-
sume responsibility for the completeness
or accuracy of the announcements.
