TMC is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting
real-time traffic and weather information. Route calculation can avoid road blocks or
unexpected traffic jams caused by an accident
.
NOTE
:
This feature is available only if your hardware supports TMC, and if it’s in your country.
Prestigio GeoVision receiver will automatically search the FM radio stations for TMC
data, and the decoded information will immediately be used in route planning. The
moment Prestigio GeoVision receives traffic information that may affect your route, the
program will warn you that it is recalculating the route, and navigation will continue with a
new route that is optimal considering the most up-to-date traffic conditions.
To fine-tune this recalculation, you can set the minimum delay that can trigger a route
recalculation, or you can instruct Prestigio GeoVision to have you confirm the new
recommended route before it takes effect. You can do these in
Traffic settings
.
A special icon is displayed on the Map screen to show you whether traffic events are
received. The icon shows the status of the traffic receiver when there are no traffic
events on your route; otherwise it shows the type of the next traffic event on your route.
Road segments affected by traffic events are displayed with an alternate colour on the
map, and small symbols above the road show the nature of the event:
1. Tap to open the Traffic
Summary screen.
2. Tap to open the list of
traffic events.
