Dynamic route guidance with TMC
The TMC function on the TravelPilot EX-V enables the system to use dynamic route
guidance to avoid traffic congestion. The TravelPilot EX-V analyses incoming TMC
traffic messages, adapts the planned route to the current traffic situation, and displays
traffic reports symbolically on the map display.
Plus Point: The TravelPilot EX-V always calculates the optimum route in
terms of travelling time; i.e. if a detour around traffic congestion increases
travelling time significantly, the TravelPilot EX-V would remain on the route
passing through the traffic congestion under certain conditions. This de-
pends on what kind of traffic congestion has been reported and how long it is
and on how long the possible detour is.
Dynamic route guidance is only possible when the TravelPilot EX-V is connected to a
TMC receiver.
TMC receivers include the “TMC D-Namic tuner box”, which was specially developed
for the TravelPilot EX-V, and a number of Blaupunkt car radios.
Please contact your authorized Blaupunkt dealer or ring the Blaupunkt telephone hot-
line (the hotline number is listed on the last page of this instruction manual) to find out
which Blaupunkt car radios can be used in conjunction with the TravelPilot EX-V.
Plus Point: If you do not have a “TMC-Tunerbox D-Namic” or a suitable Blau-
punkt car radio, you can enter a detour manually to avoid traffic congestion.
For further details, read the “Using the traffic congestion function” section in
the “Route guidance” chapter.
