The B2+ can be plugged into your Navman to identify potential traffic delays in your area and help you avoid them. Use this manual to learn how to operate your B2+ efficiently and safely, and discover the range of features available to you. 6 B2+ Traffic Module | Introduction How does my B2+ receive traffic information? When used with the B2+, your Navman can receive current traffic information for all main roads and motorways, enabling you to avoid potential delays on your route. The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) broadcasts real-time traffic and weather information via the FM Radio Data System (RDS). FM radio stations transmit TMC data on a cycle of several minutes, with hundreds of Events able to be broadcast to TMC receivers, such as the B2+. Traffic status Your current traffic status is indicated by the colour of the TMC icon in the bottom-left corner of the map screens. The following table describes the three traffic status icons: Traffic Status Description The TMC status is grey if traffic is currently inactive due to one of the following conditions: The B2+ is connecting to the TMC service. The B2+ cannot receive TMC data. This may be due to poor radio coverage in the local vicinity. You are in a country that is not supported by the B2+. Click to display the Traffic Overview screen.
