Traffic information using RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio 
stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their 
programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.
Your TomTom device uses this informat ion to warn you about traffic delays 
along your route and how you can avoid them.
To use TMC traffic information, you need a TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic 
Receiver that comes with some TomTom devices or is available as an 
accessory for others. For more info rmation on which TomTom devices 
support RDS-TMC receivers, visit  www.tomtom.com.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic 
information provided by TMC.
TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit  www.tomtom.com to 
check if it is available in your country or region.
Setting up TMC
To start using TMC all you need to do  is connect the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver 
to your TomTom device or to the windscreen mount of your TomTom device, 
depending on your product.
The receiver works best when mounted in a  vertical position, so if possible, try 
to place your TomTom device towa rds the drivers side corner of the 
windscreen so that the receiver can be secured out side of your field of vision.
After you have finished positioning the receiver switch your TomTom device 
on. The Traffic sidebar is sh own on the right-hand side of the Driving View and 
your device searches for a radio st ation that has RDS-TMC information.

information, you can tune to it  manually. For more information see  Setting the
