Information displayed
It is a FM-band traffic receivers that provide
realtime Traffic Message Channel (TMC) traffic information (in certain
cities only).
Available in a fast-growing number of cities throughout North America
and Europe, this TMC data gives prompt, accurate notification of
accidents, road construction, police, or emergency action, etc. User
can visually monitor traffic flow and, if necessary, select an alternate
route.
The TMC traffic alerting system works on an FM sideband signal which
utilizes RDS (Radio Data Service) technology (available in certain
cities only).
Digitized and coded real-time traffic broadcasts are received via
a "silent" FM data channel, which means that users 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, there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates
or random alerts. With the GTM 12, user see traffic developments
in real-time, as they happen, so he can make the right decision sooner.
The map on the Garmin GPS will display icons that represent traffic
events. For example, the map might show a construction symbol meaning
that roadwork is in progress in that area. The symbols vary by region
but are highly recognizable. Each traffic event is displayed in a
list in the Garmin unit. User can read the list for incidents in
his path and in his area.
Recalculation
The system will alert user when a traffic
problem is on his route and propose an alternate route to avoid the
incident. If user is navigating a route, the GPS device gives him
the option to alter route and avoid traffic incidents.
