Traffic information using RDS-TMC

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)

You can receive traffic information on your TomTom ONE/XL using the
TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver. The TMC transmits traffic information as
a radio signal.

Tip

: The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products

and available as an accessory for others. Visit

tomtom.com

for more

information.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio
stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their
programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.

Your TomTom navigation device uses this information to warn you about
traffic delays along your route and how you can avoid them.

Note

: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic

information provided by TMC.

TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit

tomtom.com

to check if

it is available in your country or region.

Using traffic information

To start using TMC, connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the
USB connector on your device.

Note

: The RDS-TMC receiver does not work if the Car Charger is not

connected.

As soon as you start receiving traffic information, the traffic sidebar
is shown on the right side of the Driving View. The traffic sidebar
warns you about any traffic incidents on your route.

In this example, there is a traffic jam on your route 9 kilometres
ahead that will cause an expected delay of 38 minutes.
