Traffic

See what's happening on the roads

There's nothing more frustrating than being caught in traffic. This is why Mio makes TMC (Traffic Message Channel) available on most of our sat nav devices, either as standard or as an optional accessory.

TMC is a system for alerting you to traffic problems on major roads and optionally re-routing you should you wish. Delivering real time traffic information to your Mio via RDS-TMC (Radio Data System - Traffic Message Channel) - an FM based radio signal - you can see and be alerted to known problems such as accidents, congestion and roadworks.

Your Mio will also prompt you to revise your route - or even re-route you automatically to take you on the best alternative route to your destination.

You can receive traffic information on all current Mio products, either as standard or as an optional accessory (sat nav model dependent). Best of all, the TMC service is generally available for free across Europe, although there are some exceptions. In France, Germany, Italy, Finland and Norway, free TMC is either unavailable or very limited.

In France, both free and payable TMC are available. Free TMC can be found on some toll roads. Payable TMC in France is provided by V-Traffic.

In Germany, both free and payable TMC are available. Payable TMC is provided by TMC-Pro.

In Italy, both free and payable TMC are available. The free TMC service is very limited. Payable TMC is provided by Infoblu.

In Finland and Norway, payable TMC is provided by Destia.
