About RDS-TMC

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC), also known as RDS-TMC, transmits traffic information as a radio

signal and is available free of charge in many countries.

TMC is not a TomTom service, but is available when using the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver.

Note: The RDS-TMC receiver is not available in all countries.

TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by the

Traffic Message Channel.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not available in all countries. To check the availability of TMC

services in your country, go to tomtom.com/5826.

The route bar

The route bar is shown when you have planned a route. It has an arrival information panel at the top,

and a bar with symbols underneath.

Important: To see a wider route bar showing additional route information, change the setting for

Route Information.

Note: The distance ahead shown by the route bar depends on the overall length of your route.
