The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver works by using TMC (Traffic Message Channel) technology. The receiver acquires information through an FM radio signal broadcast by regional providers. By simply connecting the new TomTom GO device to the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver, users will automatically receive traffic information via the TMC connection. Once a trip is planned, traffic alerts are clearly displayed in the traffic bar on the right hand side of the screen. When users tap the traffic bar, they receive further information, such as accident or traffic jam delays. The RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is compatible with the new TomTom GO 920 range, TomTom GO 720, TomTom ONE XL and TomTom ONE 3rd EDITION and provides seamless integration of RDS-TMC Traffic information with the user interface of the TomTom GO and ONE product ranges.

User Reviews about Tom Tom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver

This product works very well with my Tom Tom, and is really great keeping me out of traffic. -- Works Fine

I just received the antenna , having bought one over the net a couple of weeks ago. I live in the Toronto area and as soon as I picked a destination it mapped the route and reported no delays. So far, so good. I hope it will perform as well here as it has for some. Picking up the FM signals seems not to be a problem in the Toronto area. I only paid a few bucks for it incidentally. -- Looks good so far

I live in St. Paul and work in the Minneapolis area. This show me when I am approaching traffic and how long the delay is. So far, it hasn't been wrong! -- Love it!

Simple to use - plug it in and you're done! The traffic service has saved me many times during my daily commutes in the notorious traffic of Atlanta, GA.

There are only two drawbacks I've encountered.

1) On a recent trip to Florida the antenna could not find a radio station that provided traffic information in rural Alabama, so I had to switch over to the wireless data connection via my cellphone (which gathers the info via satellite).

2) You can't use the antenna & the iPod connector at the same time because they both use the same input point on the device.

Other than those two minor details I've been completely satisfied with both the TomTom and the antenna.
