I don't believe that TMC is supported by Tomtom, but as stated above traffic is supported over your data bearer (normally GPRS). This is not TMC and from my experience the validity of the trafic information leaves something to be desired !! - I use a Traficmaster standalone for my trafic updates, then manually perform a replan to avoid the area

-----

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. Data messages are received silently and decoded by a TMC-equipped car radio or navigation system, and delivered to the driver in a variety of ways. The most common of these is a TMC-enabled navigation system that can offer dynamic route guidance - alerting the driver of a problem on the planned route and calculating an alternative route to avoid the incident.

I have to appologise - TMC with TomTom Navigatore - nope - but if you have a tomtom Go 510, 710 or 910 you can get a TMC antenna and receive the alerts
