Features
Note that TMC is not currently available in Ireland.
The GTM 12 is an FM TMC (Traffic Message Channel) traffic receiver and antenna. It receives digital information (where available) on traffic and road construction tie-ups and sends it to your compatible Garmin device to offer an alternate route. TMC data is available in a number of cities throughout Europe and North America, and gives prompt, accurate notification of accidents, road construction, police or emergency services etc. - so you can visually monitor traffic flow and, if necessary, avoid traffic congestion.
In most areas TMC traffic broadcasts are continuous - there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news, updates or alerts. Traffic is reported in real time and the broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, so you can still listen to music or news programmes on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.
