<P><FONT color=#000066
face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular>In many
countries the source of information is the same for both TMC
and traditional radio services. In principle, the information
should be the same. However:</FONT></P>
<UL>
<LI><FONT color=#000066
face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular>News
readers on traditional radio get a fixed slot every hour or
half hour, and have to squeeze all messages into a few
minutes. TMC can support up to 300 messages per hour,
delivered as soon as they are created.</FONT>
<LI><FONT color=#000066
face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular>Normal
traffic announcements can only address a small part of all
current messages in their limited broadcast capacity. TMC
can broadcast more information, such as road works, and TMC
receivers can filter messages from a specific local area or
for the current journey.</FONT>
<LI><FONT color=#000066
face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular>Some TMC
service providers offer added-value information about
traffic status. This means you can see on a map display the
severity of congestion and the receiver can work out the
quickest route to your destination.</FONT> </LI></UL></TD></TR>

<TD vAlign=top width="94%"><FONT color=#000066
face=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular>TMC is a
"silent" traffic data system, needing a special decoder in the
receiver. The Traffic Announcement (TA) feature of a standard
RDS radio allows interruption of a CD or cassette tape when
there is a travel report from the radio station that is
currently tuned-in. Stations broadcasting traffic
announcements are labelled with the TP (Traffic Programme)
flag, allowing them to be selected even when listening to
another station.</FONT></TD></TR>

countries and regions only one TMC service is available in a
certain location. Most TMC receivers will automatically tune
to the strongest TMC service. You should be able to receive
free services across most of Europe; roaming for commercial
services will depend on the partnerships and agreements
established between operators.</FONT></TD></TR>
