Dynamic route guidance with TMC use
Requirements for a dynamic route guidance
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data service for continuous trans-
mission of traffic information.
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. Received TMC traffic reports are shown in a list » page 24, Displaying TMC traffic reports .
The quality of the transmitted traffic reports depends on the traffic editing car- ried out by the radio station. The reception of the TMC traffic reports cannot be
switched on or off.
The station you are listening to does not have to be a TMC station.
When the function Dynamic Route » page 20
, Settings in the (NAV) Navigation
mode is activated and the radio navigation system calculates a time advantage
for driving around the traffic disruption along the route, an alternative route is
calculated automatically.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and displayed by the unit if the naviga-
tion data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit's memory or can be re-
trieved from an inserted navigation DVD.
The current TMC traffic reports can be displayed by pressing the range selectorkey TMC
.
Traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are displayed in the map
by means of a coloured symbol. Traffic problems, which do not affect the route,
are displayed in the map by means of a grey symbol. The positioning of the TMC
symbol shows the beginning of a traffic disruption and the direction, when the
TMC traffic report is able to clearly define both.
When the function Dynamic Route » page 20, Settings in the (NAV) Navigation
mode is activated and the radio navigation system calculates a time advantage
for driving around the traffic disruption along the route, an alternative route is
calculated automatically.
When recalculating the route, a corresponding navigation announcement is out-
put. The same announcement is made when there was a traffic disruption in the
original route calculation which has since been removed.
Note
■ Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.■
If a traffic disruption was not yet entered via the TMC traffic reports, route dis-
ruptions can also be entered manually » page 22, Manually blocking a stretch of
the route .
