How does my T1 receive traffic
information?
When used with the T1, 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 T1.
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:

conditions:
