Tomtom Rds Tmc

[chromedome]

Hi

 

I've just modified my TomTom RDS TMC to accept a connection from the car's aerial and it works!!!!

 

I know what the rotating amber quadrants mean, doesn't everybody, and I know what the green indicator means.

 

Every couple of minutes I get an icon showing an arrow going around and around a car, is this indicating an update in progress?

 

I'm receiving audible and visual updates ok.

 

I can't find any info about the different icons, even on TomTom's web site, so any info would be much appreciated.

:lol: - means "At the next queue - sit and relax. Thankyou for buying Tomtom along with millions of other users" (who are taking the same route as you) :D

Hi, I've posted two screenshots - one shows the tomtom retrieving data and the other shows that it has finished with a green circle.

Hope this helps.

the tomtom tcm unit has nothing to with their servers, it's suppose to pick up the traffic reports from radio stations, it's a one off payment device unlike the units traffic system that does rely on their servers and your phones gprs signal

so is this the Itis/classic fM TMc or the capital radio, GWR and Chrysalis one (with RAC) (I dont use either of the systems), can a unit use either or both systems ?

not sure although I have read that it's meant to work with classic fm? but in true tomtom style the R&D was done by the customer! there are loads of complaints abut this unit! and tomtoms customer service in general in reguards to this unit Edited October 7, 2007 by mk2vr6
