TMC traffic information
Your navigation system receives traffic information via its integrated Dynamic TMC
Receiver, which is then used for the dynamic route planning.
You can also collect information about the current traffic situation, either as a text
message or in the map display.
To be able to use this TMC information, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
❑
The TMC data are supported by the selected navigation database in this region.
❑
TMC traffic information is broadcast in this region.
❑
You have activated any TMC messages which you would like to have displayed or
taken into account under “Message selection” in the “Info” or “Settings” menu.
You can see the TMC status in the status line on the screen*:
“
TMC
” green . . . . . . TMC information is available. Alternatively, the name
of the provider (TMC provider) may be displayed.
“
TMC
” black . . . . . . . No TMC data available in the selected navigation database for
the region.
“
TMC
” red . . . . . . . . Currently no TMC reception.
✎
If the currently received TMC station transmits the provider name, this is displayed
in the status line instead of “TMC”.
* The display of “TMC” must be activated in the status line. Refer to the “Settings”
section, page 32.
