Traffic announcements
using TMC
Your Becker® TRAFFIC STAR
NAVIGATION can receive traffic an-
nouncements (TMC messages) from ra-
dio stations.
Traffic announcements are transmitted by
radio stations via the TMC (Traffic Mes-
sage Channel) in addition to the radio
programme and are received and analysed
by the navigation system. Receiving traffic
announcements is free of charge.
The Becker® TRAFFIC STAR
NAVIGATION constantly checks
whether there are any relevant announce-
ments for the route that has been set.
If the continuous checks determine that a
traffic announcement is relevant to route
guidance, the unit can automatically re-
calculate a new route to the destination
(See “TMC settings” on page 47.).
Displaying TMC messages
Once you have connected the Becker®
TRAFFIC STAR NAVIGATION to the
unit holder, your Becker® TRAFFIC
STAR NAVIGATION will receive up-to-
date traffic announcements and dynamic
route calculation will be enabled (traffic
jam diversion). You can also view traffic
announcements directly.
Settings for TMC can be made as de-
scribed under “TMC settings” on
page 47.
>
Select
TMC
from the main menu.
The message list appears.
Note:
To use the TMC functionality of the
Becker® TRAFFIC STAR
NAVIGATION you have to buy with
the Becker Content Manager a licence in
the webshop.
Note:
As the traffic announcements are trans-
mitted by radio stations, we cannot as-
sume responsibility for the completeness
or accuracy of the announcements.
