Published on March 14th, 2006 in gps navigation
Soon a TMC module will become available for the new GO’s. We’ve got the first photo’s and a few details about this add-on.
As announced last week at the CeBIT fair in Hannover, TomTom will offer the oportunity to TomTom GO 510, 710 and 910 owners to receive traffic information via TMC (Traffic Message Channel). For this an RDS/TMC antenna antenna needs to be purchased, which then should be connected to the mount of the new GO’s. Additional info about this antenna has become available today.
Operation
The TomTom RDS/TMC antenna receives TMC signals that are being transmitted by local or regional providers. When these signals are received, traffic info is decoded from them. Possible problems on the road are then shown on the right hand side of the GO screen, by means of icons. If one of those icons is tapped, additional info is shown about the cause and nature of the problem. The GO can then use this info to calculate the most optimal route… via
