Traffic Information
Traffic (TMC) messages are national and regional FM radio broadcasts that are used to inform drivers of
traffic, weather, and other driving conditions, as shown below.
The Traffic Alert icon appears each time a traffic condition is
encountered. The alert description is displayed in the Traffic
Info Events screen, which can be opened by tapping on the
Traffic Alert icon.

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.
Note: Please go to http://www.tmcforum.com for information about European countries that provide TMC
service. A TMC receiver is required to receive TMC broadcasts.
From the Options menu, select the Traffic Info button, which opens the TMC inbox, and displays traffic
reports. You can select a traffic report and click Next to show a map of the affected road. If you click the
Avoid button, Destinator recalculates your route.
