The TMC traffic alerting system works on an FM sideband signal which utilizes RDS (Radio Data Service) technology. Digitized and coded real-time traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel - which means that drivers can still listen to music or news programming on their car radios, without interference from the incoming FM traffic data transmissions. In most areas, depending on the service provider, TMC traffic broadcasts are continuous - theres no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. With the GTM 10, you see traffic developments in real-time, as they happen, so you can make the right decision sooner. The system will alert you when a traffic problem is on your route and propose an alternate route to avoid the incident.
Please note: Professional installation is recommended. Traffic services are available only in select cities where RDS-TMC coverage exists. A subscription may be required to enable traffic capability.

Q: What is RDS-TMC?

A: As fast as you need it to. Alerts pop right up on the screen, so you can avoid the jam before it even starts.
