Save drive time, gas and your sanity by adding traffic services to your compatible Garmin device with the help of the GTM 10 traffic receiver. Avoid Traffic Tie-ups - GTM 10, an FM TMC (Traffic Message Channel) traffic receiver, is a permanently installed device that connects with your car radio/antenna system (professional installation required). It receives digital information (where available) on traffic and road construction tie-ups and sends it to your compatible Garmin navigator to offer an alternate route. TMC data is available in a fast-growing number of cities throughout North America, and gives prompt, accurate notification of accidents, road construction, police or emergency action, etc. - so you can visually monitor traffic flow and, if necessary, avoid traffic tie-ups.
Receive Real-time Traffic Data
In most areas, depending on the service provider, TMC traffic broadcasts are continuous - there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. With the GTM 10, you see traffic developments in real-time, as they happen, so you can make the right decision sooner. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions. Professional installation is required.
