Traffic
Traffic information is only available in selected countries.
Your Navman 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 Navman receive traffic information?
You can receive current traffic information on your Navman via the Navman 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 Navman Traffic module.
