Mio Moov 200-Series, 300-Series  |  Traffic

Traffic 

Traffic information is only available on some models and in selected countries 

Your Mio can receive current traffic information for all main roads and freeways, enabling you to avoid potential 
delays on your route. Event messages and traffic icons will display as they occur. If an event message obscures your 
current location, the map will adjust to display both the message and your location. 

 

How does my Mio receive traffic information? 

You can receive current traffic information on your Mio via the Mio Traffic cradle using the Traffic Message Channel 
(TMC) service. The TMC service is subscription-free. The traffic cradle may be sold separately. 

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) broadcasts real-time traffic and weather information via the FM Radio Data 
System (RDS). FM radio stations transmit TMC data on a cycle of several minutes, with hundreds of events able to 
be broadcast to TMC receivers, such as the Mio Traffic module. 

 

Traffic status 

Your current traffic status is indicated by the color of the TMC icon.  

To view your current traffic status from the map screens, tap 

 and then tap 

The following table describes the three traffic status icons:

receiving power but there are still traffic events listed on the 

Event List

 screen. 

Tap to display the 

Traffic Overview

 screen.
