GTM
12 FM TMC Traffic
Receiver receives Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
information broadcast over the FM radio data system.
When a traffic message is received, your Garmin
GPS device displays the incident on the map and can
change your route to avoid the traffic incident. For
coverage areas, refer to the Garmin Web site at
www.garmin.com/fmtraffic.
NOTE: The FM traffic receiver and GPS
device must be in data range of an FM station
transmitting TMC data to receive traffic
information.
NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the
accuracy of the traffic information. The FM
traffic receiver simply receives signals from
the traffic service provider and shows that
information on your Garmin GPS device.
