COMAND calculates the route. Navigation system (dynamic route
guidance)
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge RDS-TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. COMAND can receive
the RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them
into consideration for dynamic route guid-
ance. Thus, for example, the navigation sys-
tem can guide you around a traffic jam.
In Germany, COMAND uses the high-quality
traffic data from T-systems Traffic for the traf-
fic jam warning system TMCPro. These data
are available 24 hours a day. In contrast to
the publicT MC service, TMCPro uses exclu-
sive traffic data which are detected with an
automated sensor network, in addition to the
messages generated by the TMC service. The
traffic data received from the traffic jam warn-
ing services named above could differ.
There may be differences between the
reports received and the actual traffic situa-
tion.
The respective traffic data being received
appears at the bottom right of the display with
the symbols "TMCPro" or "TMC", see example
of display (Y page 120). If there is no recep-
tion, no symbol is displayed. Switching dynamic route guidance

X To switch on: set the "Dynamic route"
