Traffic
Spending more time stopped in traffic than actually moving?
The TomTom USB RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver receives traffic incidents while driving and sends the data to your TomTom. TomTom then routes you around each incident. Connect the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to your TomTom and the car charger, and receive traffic incidents automatically over the TMC connection*. Once a route is planned, traffic warnings - including total time of delay and distance to incident - along your route are clearly displayed on the traffic bar on the main navigation screen. Touch the traffic bar and receive detailed information specific to the incident(s) on your route. For example, you can view the cause of incident (accident, construction work, congestion, traffic building, etc.) location, duration, and length of incident. To optimize the your use of the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver, update your device's application automatically and free of charge through TomTom HOME. An interactive map of the US and Canadian RDS-TMC traffic data coverage.
* FM radio signals can interfere with the RDS-TMC connection. TomTom cannot guarantee continuity and quality of the information. However, TomTom has selected the best providers to ensure the best radio reception and traffic data.
