and weather information.
The TMC feature is enabled by default in TRAX436. TMC requires
subscription to the service provided by a separate supplier. There is a fee
for this service.
TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your
country or region. Ask your local dealer for coverage details.
If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, TRAX436 automatically
takes into account the TMC data received. You do not need to set anything
in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM radio
stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be
usedinrouteplanning.ThemomentTRAX436receivestrafcinformation
