RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver
From OpenTom
The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver gets traffic information on the go to your TomTom based on the Traffic Message Channel. For the one-off cost of the receiver you can get traffic updates and let your TomTom reroute you around congestion.
By simply connecting the TomTom device to the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver, you will automatically receive traffic information via the TMC connection. Once a journey is planned, traffic alerts which relate to the route are clearly displayed in the traffic bar on the right hand side of the screen. When you tap the icon shown in the traffic bar, you will receive further information, such as the cause or kind of delay to traffic, such as an accident or traffic jam.
