The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver gets traffic information to your GPS unit. RDS-TMC (radio data signal – traffic management channel) uses the FM radio band to deliver traffic incident and congestion messages to your TomTom GPS to keep you informed. You can get traffic updates and let your TomTom reroute you around congestion. By simply connecting the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to your TomTom device and the car charger, you will automatically receive traffic information via the TMC connection. Once a journey is planned, traffic alerts which relate to the route are clearly displayed in the traffic bar on the right hand side of the screen. When you tap the icon shown in the traffic bar, you will receive further information, such as the cause or kind of delay to traffic, such as an accident or traffic jam. If you ever get frustrated by being stuck in traffic and not knowing why, then this great little add-on gadget is for you. Furthermore, it is a specially broadcast service and requires no mobile phone to operate – so no phone charges are incurred in accessing the service.
