 tomtom rds-tmc June 19, 2008
Rosco (Ayshire, Scotland)

After reading many comments on the rds-tmc l thought l would add my own. Having installed unit which was bought from amazon 2 weeks ago l have found the following.
1/ During journeys(far travelled) l have signal lock approx.80% of the time(green circle)
2/ Traffic information should only be used as an indication of road conditions and not used as real time.
3/ Sometimes when starting a journey signal lock is not found and investigating further l find that frequencies are not being scanned. removing rds-tmc jack and plugging in again always starts scanning and signal lock.
4/ In my car location of aerial does not seem to make a huge difference in performance although l have settled for a vertical position tight against the drivers side windscreen pillar, with most or the aerial behind the pillar trim.
5/ Selection of country(UK)/strongest frequency gave same results with signal lock and l've found operation to be reliable and stable.
In my experience I've found the Tmc to be a handy but not essential addition to my TomTom 910 with the added traffic display giving added insight to the traffic conditions. Just remember point 2.
6/ Further update. Travelled up west coast to Oban and found coverage poor. Signal lock only for about 30% of journey. Radio signal also lost during large parts of trip.
