Information
Symbols located at the top of the screen are used to display
information.
Time
The Time symbol displays the current time.
Whenever the navigation system receives a signal from a GPSsatellite it is able to calculate current time and position. On the
basis of it's current position, the system is able to ascertain the
time zone. By referring to a data bank, the system can also
determine whether it is summer time (BST) or not.
This ensures that the time displayed is always correct. It is not
necessary to change any settings.
Note: Current local time is also used for the navigation. Time of
arrival is always given in the current local time of your
destination.

TMC (TMC Information)3
If your navigation device has a TMC receiver, or is inserted in the
TMC cradle, the system is provided with up-to-date traffic
messaging enabling it to change the route dynamically should it
become necessary to avoid a traffic jam for example. The current
valid traffic reports can be displayed on the screen.
Note: Unlike the standard-cradle, the TMC-cradle has an
integrated module to receive TMC-messaging. You will recognise
