How do I receive current traffic information?
Traffic information is only available in selected countries.
Your Mio can receive current traffic information for all main roads and motorways, enabling you to avoid potential
delays on your route. Event messages and traffic icons will display as they occur. If an event message obscures your
current location, the map will adjust to display both the message and your location.
How does my Mio receive traffic information?
You can receive current traffic information on your Mio via the Mio Traffic cradle using the Traffic Message Channel
(TMC) service. The TMC service is subscription-free. The traffic cradle may be sold separately.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) broadcasts real-time traffic and weather information via the FM Radio Data
System (RDS). FM radio stations transmit TMC data on a cycle of several minutes, with hundreds of events able to
be broadcast to TMC receivers, such as the Mio Traffic module.

Your current traffic status is indicated by the colour of the TMC icon.
