B2+ Traffic Module | Introduction

How does my B2+ receive traffic
information?
When used with the B2+, your Navman can receive current traffic information for all main roads and
motorways, enabling you to avoid potential delays on your route.
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 B2+.
Traffic status
Your current traffic status is indicated by the colour of the TMC icon in the bottom-left corner of the
map screens.
The following table describes the three traffic status icons:
