Live Traffic - Traffic Announce-
ments via Data Connection
(model dependent)
Your navigation device can receive traffic
announcements from a server via a data
connection. These announcements are
more up-to-date than data received via
TMC and are also available more quickly.
There must also be an appropriate data
connection. Subsequent use of the traffic
announcements is the same as de-
scribed below for TMC.
If a connection to the server is not possi-
ble, the system then tries to switch over
to TMC traffic announcements (model
dependent). As soon as TMC is displayed,
there is no connection to the Life Traffic
server.
In the Chapter entitled WiFi Settings on
page 138 we describe how to create a
data connection.
Displaying TMC messages on the map
Current TMC messages are displayed on
the map graphically. Sections of the
route where there are traffic problems
are highlighted blue. Arrows indicating
the traffic direction which is affected by
the traffic problem continue to be
displayed.
In addition to the coloured mark, a
warning sign is displayed on the stretch
of road affected.
Notice:
The data transmission via your mobile
phone may involve additional costs de-
pending on the mobile phone contract.
Please find out from your mobile phone
provider before activating. If a connec-
tion to the server is not possible, e.g. be-
cause no mobile phone network is
available for a longer period of time,
then the system switches over auto-
matically to TMC until a connection to
the server is possible again.
