Trafc Info Alert
Trafc (TMC) messages are national and regional FM radio broadcasts that are used to inform
drivers of trafc, weather, and other driving conditions, as shown below.
The Trafc Alert icon appears each time a trafc event is encountered. The alert description is
displayed in the TMC Inbox screen, which can be opened by tapping on the Trafc Alert icon.
Note: Some car models (especially French)
use coated windscreen glass, and placing
the radio antenna on other windows is
therefore recommended on these cars. An
alternative solution is to install an Antenna
Splitter that lets you use your usual radio
antenna. For more information about the
Antenna Splitter, please go to http://www.

TMC information is received by your TMC-
enabled GPS receiver and monitored by
your software. Destinator can automatically
reroute your travel to avoid areas that TMC
indicates are troublesome to drivers. For
instance, if there is a storm or accident
in your vicinity, your route would be
recalculated to avoid the problem.
