 Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2006 10:47 pm Post subject: Trafficmaster TMC question |
 |
|
I'm not sure how many people here have an RDS-TMC unit that uses Trafficmaster for its data (I know most of the units are very new on the market)...
I know that as well as providing delays, iTIS also provide details of roadworks and other information - which can affect a journey.
However, does Trafficmaster just provide traffic delays, or does it also warn of other things, such as roadworks (I appreciate just because there are roadworks there may not be delays, but it's still nice to know about them)? |

On the Navman TMC module roadworks is one of the options that you can choose whether to display or not. That said I have not seen any shown in my couple of weeks of occasional usage.

Thanks for that, although I'll note that Navman use iTIS, and not Trafficmaster for their data (despite what some online retailers are stating). |

| Yes I've seen roadworks on my Garmin GTM 11 - they were marked green to show no actual delay. I think bad weather can also be displayed. |

That's nice to know.

Well, the TMC specs allows this to be broadcast and displayed (along with roadworks and a few other items) - my question was about what TM broadcast - I don't think they broadcast weather, but it's nice to see they do include roadworks, even if they are not causing a delay. |

I have definitely seen bad weather shown, but the reason for my doubt is I've also seen the bad weather icon before I had the GTM 11 so I think there is a firmware "feature" that can causes it to be displayed on rare occaisions. I'll keep an eye open and post confirmation if I see a valid one. |
