SD memory card
The Secure Digital memory card is a digital storage medium for storing music or audio book
titles as well as additional maps, POIs, cities and tours. Your Falk navigation device is
capable of reading SD memory cards with a storage volume of up to 32 GB (gigabytes).
TMC
Traffic Message Channel is a digital data service for transmitting information regarding traffic
problems to a suitable receiver. Sources for the traffic information include the police, ADAC
roadside assistance, and other organisations providing traffic jam alerts. TMC depends on
the reception of a suitable radio station which transmits the TMC traffic reports encoded with
the radio signal. The Falk Navigator is able to decipher these signals and incorporate them
during navigation in order to propose a suitable alternative route if there is a severe traffic
problem. Please note that you require a navigation device with a TMC receiver in order to be
able to receive TMC traffic messages.
NAVTEQ Traffic
NAVTEQ Traffic is a premium data service, which in contrast to conventional TMC, provides
you with even higher quality traffic data. NAVTEQ Traffic utilises exclusive data from an
automated sensor network via the message range of public TMC sources. Information is
assessed from data sensors on highway bridges, sensor loops in traffic lanes and from
vehicles, which transmit traffic data on the traffic flow automatically.
