57Trafc Information (Optional)What is the Trafc Message Channel?The Trafc Message Channel (TMC) is a specic application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time trafc and weather information. Data messages are received silently, decoded, and delivered to a TMC-enabled navigation system that can offer dynamic route guidance – alerting the driver to a problem on the planned route and calculating an alternative route to avoid the incident.Coverage of the ServiceTMC Services cover nearly all of Western Europe. Each service is transmitted by a national, regional, or local broadcaster. TMC Service provides trafc information for monitored roads only, motorways and main roads. TMC radio transmissions reception can change from area to area, depending on weather conditions, static electricity, power lines, and other natural or man-made conditions.DisclaimerDestinator Technologies is not responsible for any damage caused by an accident due to unreliable TMC radio transmissions by national, regional, or local broadcasters caused by TMC service restrictions, or by natural and man-made conditions that prevent real-time trafc and weather information from being delivered to the TMC-enabled navigation system. Destinator Technologies is not responsible for the quality or accuracy of the events broadcast and the method by which they are displayed.TMC Antenna InstallationInstalling the TMC Antenna:
581. Place the wired antennas horizontally in the car using the rubber stickers provided. It is recommended that the antenna be attached to the windscreen. Please note that some car models (especially French) use coated windscreen glass and placing the radio antenna on other windows is therefore recommended on these cars.2. The TMC system automatically locates the frequency of the closest radio station and recommends an alternate route when trafc events (such as congestion or an accident) are detected. For more information, please refer to the user manual.3. Other trafc events – such as General Information, Roadworks and Weather – are also monitored to let the user avoid these events manually.Destinator Trafc ServiceDestinator provides the following trafc service:1. The Destinator Trafc Engine monitors the events relevant to your route only.2. Destinator automatically calculates the best alternative route.3. Every 5 minutes, Destinator re-evaluates the trafc conditions and route accordingly. 4. For a list of supported receivers, please see the user manual.5. Destinator TrafcSam lets you access the best trafc services in Europe with one simple licence. You can enjoy the following professional services: • In Germany, TMC Pro powered by T-Systems Trafc in Germany. • In France, the nationwide coverage of Michelin Trafc services. • In the United Kingdom, Destinator trafc service powered by TrafcMaster.
596. No additional registration or activation is required. Simply use your device in the way you are used to.Trafc Info AlertTrafc (TMC) messages are national and regional FM radio broadcasts that are used to inform drivers of trafc, weather, and other driving conditions, as shown below.The Trafc Alert icon appears each time a trafc event is encountered. The alert description is displayed in the TMC Inbox screen, which can be opened by tapping on the Trafc Alert icon.Note: Some car models (especially French) use coated windscreen glass, and placing the radio antenna on other windows is therefore recommended on these cars. An alternative solution is to install an Antenna Splitter that lets you use your usual radio antenna. For more information about the Antenna Splitter, please go to http://www.gns-gmbh.comTMC information is received by your TMC-enabled GPS receiver and monitored by your software. Destinator can automatically reroute your travel to avoid areas that TMC indicates are troublesome to drivers. For instance, if there is a storm or accident in your vicinity, your route would be recalculated to avoid the problem.
60Note: Please go to http://www.tmcforum.com for information about European countries that provide TMC service. A TMC receiver is required to receive TMC broadcasts.From the Options menu, select the Trafc Info button, which opens the TMC inbox, and displays trafc reports. You can select a trafc report and click Next to show a map of the affected road. If you click the Avoid button, Destinator recalculates your route. Note that if the event was avoided, the Show Map screen displays the Allow button to recalculate to that previously avoided route section.All TMC messages are delivered to the TMC Inbox, but only messages relating the direct route and a 200 metre radius are displayed. The radius is set to 160 kilometres when no route has been selected.Note: It is strongly recommended that you let Destinator automatically scan and lock onto the TMC stations and do not manually search for a TMC station.You can use the following buttons to go to a different radio frequency:
61You can use the following buttons to go to a different radio frequency:Lets you search for a trafc channel at a lower frequency. When a station is located, Destinator checks for TMC data. If there is no TMC data for this station, Destinator continues to scan until a radio station with TMC data is located.Lets you make minimal (0.1) steps toward a lower frequency to bring in the channel.Lets you make minimal (0.1) steps toward a higher frequency to bring in the channel.Lets you scan for a trafc channel with TMC data at a higher frequency.TMC OptionsYou can tap the Options button The Trafc Information Options dialogue box is displayed, as shown below.
62You must congure the Trafc Message Channel (TMC) be dening the following settings:When an event occurs:You can select either: Automatically - Destinator automatically recalculates the route to avoid a road with adverse trafc conditions – trafc jam or accident only. Manual - You can manually select the TMC event from the inbox and tap the Avoid button from the Show Map screen.Search for TMC Stations:Automatically - Destinator automatically scans the FM radio frequencies until a TMC station is found. Should you lose the station frequency, Destinator will automatically scan for a new TMC station.Manual - You can use the frequency keys to scan for a TMC station [Not advised]. Test TMC When you tap this button, Destinator expands the search radius for to the “Whole Map” for one minute, switches automatically to the TMC Inbox screen and displays a test message called “Testing TMC Service”. After one minute, Destinator reverts to the route and the 200 metre radius.” If you do not receive a message after tapping this button, please check in the following sequence: The TMC receiver is locked on to a TMC station. If not, reconnect your TMC receiver. If you see the tuner scanning but not locking on to a TMC station, try to change your position and check that your antenna is vertical. Depending on your location, you might not have TMC coverage. Check that you are using the map of the country that you are currently travelling in.TMC Pro For Destinator use in Germany only - It is highly recommended to keep the TMC Pro checkbox selected.
