4.8 TMC (Traffic Message Channel)

N.I.C.E 430 can provide you with even better routes if Traffic Message Channel

(TMC) information is available. The TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio

Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information.

Note: TMC is not a global service. It may not be available in your country or region.

Ask your Clarion dealer for coverage details.

You need an optional TMC receiver (Clarion FM9) attached to your N.I.C.E 430 to

receive TMC information. If public TMC data is broadcast at your location, N.I.C.E

430 will automatically take into account the TMC information received. You do not

need to set anything in the program. The receiver will automatically search the FM

radio stations for TMC data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in

route planning. The moment N.I.C.E 430 receives traffic information that may affect

your route, the program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation

will continue with a new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic

conditions.

Tap the small satellite dish icon on the Main menu, Map or Cockpit screen to open

this window.

current position, or press Settings to configure the TMC subsystem. This opens a

new window.
