informa-

tion

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) also

known as RDS-TMC, transmits traffic infor-

mation as a radio signal and is available free

of charge in many countries.

TMC is not a TomTom Service, but is avail-

able when using the TomTom RDS-TMC

Traffic Receiver.

Note: TomTom is not responsible for the avail-

ability or quality of traffic information provided

by the Traffic Message Channel.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not

available in all countries. To check the availabil-

ity of TMC services in your country, go to

tomtom.com/traffic.
