Hi everyone,

I know this is probably a really stupid question but does anyone know what TMC stands for on the sat nav screen - it's just doing my head in not knowing what it stands for!

Thanks in advance

not sure! It seems to change depending what road your driving on, I thought maybe something to do with traffic avoidance?

Got it - Traffic Message Channel

Quote:

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 visually or as human speech in the preferred language of the user. TMC messages can be filtered so that only those relevant to the current journey are displayed, while a TMC-enabled navigation system can offer dynamic route guidance - alerting the driver of a problem on the planned route and calculating an alternative route to avoid the incident.
