How does my T1 receive traffic
information?
When used with the T1, your Navman can receive current traffic information for all main roads and
motorways, enabling you to avoid potential delays on your route.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) broadcasts real-time traffic and weather information via the FM
Radio Data System (RDS). FM radio stations transmit TMC data on a cycle of several minutes, with
hundreds of Events able to be broadcast to TMC receivers, such as the T1.
Traffic status
Your current traffic status is indicated by the colour of the TMC icon in the bottom-left corner of the
map screens.
The following table describes the three traffic status icons:
Traffic Status Description
The TMC status is grey if traffic is currently inactive due to one of the following
conditions:
 The T1 is connecting to the TMC service.
 The T1 cannot receive TMC data. This may be due to poor radio coverage in
the local vicinity.
 You are in a country that is not supported by the T1.
Click to display the Traffic Overview screen.
The TMC status is orange if one of the following conditions apply:
 You have navigated into a country that is not supported by the T1, but there
are still traffic events listed on the Event List screen.
 You have separated your Navman from the T1, or the T1 is not receiving
power but there are still traffic events listed on the Event List screen.
Click to display the Traffic Overview screen.
The TMC status is green if the T1 is active and receiving traffic events.
Click to display the Traffic Overview screen.
Your traffic status is displayed in more detail on the Traffic System Status screen.
How do I see my Traffic status if the TMC icon isn't
displayed?
If the TMC icon is not displayed, follow the instructions in the enclosed In-Car Installation Guide to
insert your Navman into the T1.
