NAVIGON, INC.

TMC (Traffic Information)

The 

NAVIGON 2100 max/2120 max,

 with a car charger cable with integrated TMC 

antenna, provides the navigation system with up to date traffic messages. If neces-
sary, it can alter the route dynamically in order to avoid a traffic jam.

The 

TMC

 symbol can display the following TMC reception status:

No Symbol

TMC is not operational. Can also indicate the purchased TMC 
accessory service has not been activated successfully. See “Acti-
vating an Optional Accessory Service” on page 11 for more infor-
mation.

Tuning

TMC is operational, but cannot find a station that is transmitting 
TMC signals.

TMC Ready

Traffic messages can be received.

Important Note

Traffic functionality is available as an accessory option. If 
this service has not been purchased and activated, the 
TMC icon does not display.

For more information, see page 77.

Note:

This function is only available if TMC traffic messages are being transmitted in 

the map area in which you are travelling. Traffic messages are not available in all 
areas.

Note:

The charger cable does not need to be connected to the 

vehicle's cigarette 

lighter

 for the antenna to be operational. 

Note:

Without the antenna, TMC messages may not be received when the device is 

operating on battery power only.

For more information, see “Displaying traffic messages” on page 80.
