Traffic Information (TMC)
The NAVIGON 8100T, with a car charger cable with integrated TMC antenna, pro-
vides the navigation system with up to date traffic messages. If necessary, 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.
Tuning
TMC is operational, but cannot find a station that is
transmitting TMC signals.
No Reception Traffic messages are no longer being received, but there
are still traffic messages in the queue that have not
expired.
TMC Ready
Traffic messages can be received.
Note: This function is only available if TMC traffic messages are being transmitted in
the map area in which you are traveling. 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.
