If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, MioMap will automatically take into 
account the TMC information 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 MioMap 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. 

The TMC subsystem can be started from the GPS Data screen (Page 34) by tapping 
the TMC button. 

 

Note: An external TMC cradle may be required to enable TMC on your device. 

  

4.9.1  List of TMC messages 

The main screen of the TMC section is the list of valid TMC messages ordered by 
their distance from your current location. 

 

Tap the arrows to turn the page, and see traffic difficulties farther away from your 
current position, or press Settings to configure the TMC subsystem. This opens a 
new window. 

4.9.2  TMC control center          

This screen shows the selected TMC source and allows you to change the TMC 
settings.
