2.4.12 TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
AZ291MA can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel (TMC) information is
available. TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting
real-time traffic and weather information.
TMC is enabled by default in AZ291MA.
Note!
TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region. Ask your
local dealer for coverage details.
Your PND may contain the TMC receiver device that is needed to receive TMC data. Ask your local
dealer.
If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, AZ291MA automatically takes into account the TMC
data received. You do not need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search
the FM radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route
planning. The moment AZ291MA receives traffic information that may affect your route, the program
will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will continue with a new route that is
optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.
You can access the list of TMC events, change TMC related settings, and select or ignore specific
