Traffic Info Alert
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 event is encountered. The
alert description is displayed in the
TMC Inbox screen, which can be
opened by tapping on the Traffic 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.gns-gmbh.com
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.
