TMC on I-Go

[gigino]

Hello everone,
hope that everybody had a great holiday.

I need some information if somebody can help me in this.

I've been told that in the UK the TMC is not a free service and I have to pay for it.

Could someone with some experience tell if this is true where do I pay for this service?

If I pay for this service how does it work because I use the I-Go My Way navigation system, well it work on that software?

How well the software known that I've paid for this service?

How reliable is the TMC at the moment?

Any advice would be very greatful.

Thank You

Gigino

There are two TMC services in the UK, and both are chargeable. However, neither accept payment directly, the charge is through the SatNav company, who need to support it within their product. For the majority of companies, this is a one-off charge per user, although not all deals are like this.

If the software *and* hardware support RDS-TMC, then if the manufacturer pays the fee, it will work fine, otherwise it will not work at all. After a quick glance at their webite, there is no obvious traffic support in i-Go, and hence it's possible there is no software NOR hardware support for it at all.

TMC reliability varies, especially with the quality of the FM aerial in use.
