Traffic Glossary RDS: Radio Data System. Infrastructure that broadcasts digital information on the FM band. TMC: Traffic Message Channel, one of the types of information that a Radio Data System can broadcast. Public TMC Service: In some countries, there is at least one TMC service provider that broadcasts Traffic information free of charge. The Magellan Maestro automatically receives public TMC services, whichever country you are in. For the updated list of countries and providers, please, check www.magellanGPS.com. Commercial TMC Service: In the Unites States, only prepaid TMC services exist. Your Magellan Maestro receives TMC services only after you have subscribed to the service and entered your subscription code in your Magellan Maestro. Traffic Message: A message received by the Magellan Maestro that contains the description of a Traffic event. Traffic Event: An event liable to disturb the flow of traffic. The list of possible Traffic events that can be received are provided below, along with the corresponding road sign: Sign Meaning Danger Sign Meaning Road Closed Slow or Stationary Traffic Severe Weather Lane Reduction Special Equipment Required Road Work Vehicle Related Restriction Accident Re-routing Mode: This mode will reroute the vehicle if a Traffic event impacts the route, and a faster alternative route is available. Understanding How The Traffic System Works Please read the following statements before using the Magellan Maestro Traffic System: • You can enable and disable Traffic events. By default, Traffic events are enabled. • Traffic events will alert and re-route you if re-routing mode is enabled. • All event categories will be displayed on the map screen in the form of traffic event icons. • If you are not routing to a destination, the RDS function will only display Traffic events without alert or re-routing. 47
