Unfortunately, the traffic conditions change all the time! Unexpected traffic jams, roadblocks and accidents can ruin a perfectly planned holiday. Use our traffic messages (TMC) and make your journey more enjoyable! n


Choose Configure TMC .

The traffic information is gathered by specialized traffic-monitoring centres. Then, the information is broadcast via the Traffic Message Channel (TMC). Depending on the device you use, you can choose one of the following solutions to update your list of traffic messages:

 Data source: RDS

Currently, the Radio Data System (RDS) technology is supported by most Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs),

Windows Mobile smartphones and PocketPCs . The TMC messages are received by drivers via an RDS receiver

(built-in or stand-alone). An external antenna is also required. The information is continuously updated.

 Data source: Internet

Most Windows Mobile smartphones and certain PocketPCs ( only in case of Windows Mobile for Pocket PC Phone

Edition) use a GPRS (internet) connection to receive traffic information. The information is updated at a time interval specified by the user. p

Set your TMC interval:

Never – it means that the traffic messages are not updated automatically on your device.

Every … minutes – it means that new traffic messages are automatically updated on your device, every … minutes.

You can manually update the list of available traffic messages! In Main Menu , select TMC information and select Refresh . q

Select Enable dynamic routing if you want to use the traffic messages during navigation. When something happens on the road, your ROUTE 66 product analyzes the situation and automatically recalculates the best possible route.

How does GPS work?

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 satellites placed into Earth’s orbit. GPS works in any weather condition, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.

There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.

A GPS receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement. With four or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine your 3D position (latitude, longitude and altitude).
