The GTM 12 is portable and
simply plugs into your compatible Garmin GPS. It is a small FM-band traffic receivers
that provide realtime
Traffic Message Channel (TMC) traffic information (in
certain cities only) to compatible Garmin GPS automotive navigation
products. Available in a fast-growing
number of cities throughout North America and Europe, this TMC data
gives prompt, accurate notification of accidents, road construction,
police, or emergency action, etc.—so drivers can visually monitor
traffic flow and, if necessary, select an alternate route.

The TMC traffic alerting system works on an FM sideband signal which
utilizes RDS (Radio Data Service) technology (available in
certain cities only). Digitized and coded real-time traffic broadcasts
are received via a "silent" FM data channel—which means that
drivers can still listen to music or news programming on their car radios,
without interference from the incoming FM traffic data transmissions. In
most areas, depending on the service provider, TMC traffic broadcasts are
continuous—there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or
random alerts. With the GTM 12, you see traffic developments in
real-time, as they happen, so you can make the right decision sooner.
The system will alert you when a traffic problem is on your route and propose
an alternate route to avoid the incident. See
macromedia demo.

Using Traffic Data with Garmin GPS’s
The map on the Garmin GPS will display icons that represent traffic
events. For example, the map might show a construction symbol meaning that
roadwork is in progress in that area. The symbols vary by region but are
highly recognizable. Each traffic event is displayed in a list in the
Garmin unit. You can read the list for incidents in your path and in your
area. If you are navigating a route, the GPS device gives you the option
to alter your route and avoid traffic incidents. The GTM
12 FM traffic receivers will
only receive and display this traffic information in certain cities.
