Dynamic route guidance with TMC
The TravelPilot DX-N TMC function makes it possible to use dynamic route guidance
(currently available in Germany only) to avoid traffic congestion. To do so, the Travel-
Pilot DX-N evaluates incoming TMC traffic information, adjusts the route planning to
the current traffic situation and indicates the traffic information in symbol form in the
map display mode.
Plus Point: The TravelPilot DX-N always calculates the optimum route in
terms of travelling time; i.e. if a detour around traffic congestion increases
travelling time significantly, the TravelPilot DX-N would remain on the route
passing through the traffic congestion under certain conditions. This de-
pends on what kind of traffic congestion has been reported and how long it is
and on how long the possible detour is.
Dynamic route guidance is only possible when the TravelPilot DX-N is connected to a
TMC receiver.
TMC receivers include the “TMC D-Namic tuner box”, which was specially developed
for the TravelPilot DX-N, and a number of Blaupunkt car radios.
Please contact your authorized Blaupunkt dealer or ring the Blaupunkt telephone hot-
line (the hotline number is listed on the last page of this instruction manual) to find out
which Blaupunkt car radios can be used in conjunction with the TravelPilot DX-N.
Plus Point: If you have neither a “TMC D-Namic tuner box” nor a suitable
Blaupunkt car radio, you can still enter traffic congestion detours manually.
For more information, refer to the section on “Route guidance”, “Using the
traffic congestion function”.
Switching TMC on/off
The TMC function is switched on or off in the Route options menu.
For more information, refer to the section on “Selecting route options”.
Note:
If the TMC function is switched on, the options for “Fast route”, “Motorway”, “Ferry”
and “Toll” will be selected automatically in the menu. If you switch off one of these
options, the TMC function will switch off automatically as well.
