Important: The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products and
is also available as an optional accessory. When the receiver is used with some navigation
devices, some features may not be available.
The Traffic Message Channel is not available in all countries or regions and is not a
TomTom Service. TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic infor-
mation provided by TMC. To check if TMC is available in your country or region, visit
tomtom.com.
Your TomTom navigation device can use TMC traffic information to warn you about traffic
delays along your route and how you can avoid them.
You can attach the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to your TomTom START to view traffic
congestion and plan routes that avoid heavy traffic.
TMC traffic information, also known as RDS-TMC, is transmitted via an FM radio signal.
Radio stations in several countries broadcast TMC on the same frequency as their normal
radio programs.
Using TMC traffic information
To use TMC traffic information on your TomTom START, connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Tra-
ffic Receiver to the USB connector on your START.
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 miles ahead that will cause
an expected delay of 38 minutes.
These symbols are shown at the top of the traffic sidebar:
Your START has the latest RDS-TMC traffic information.
Your START is waiting to download the latest RDS-TMC traffic information as soon as it
is available.
Your START is searching for a radio station that carries RDS-TMC traffic information.
To find the quickest route to your destination, do the following:
