Thread: Working TMC / sys.txt

Whether your Android device has a physical TMC (radio) receiver?

A long time ago, only a few mobile phones had the ability to receive that radio sygnal. Since then ... no.
Only if you have an additional (external) device.

On some modern systems I saw a TMC receiver, but it forwarded the data directly to the radio unit.
I don't know how the one in Ignis works, I haven't met him and I can't say anything.
Our friends Bixo & Frontzsosd worked on creating an adequate plugins (ux files) but without a proper driver, it can't work.

And because of what?
- TMC is not available in all countries
- Surely you don't need a circle of 600 km, but only along one route
- The situation is constantly changing. By the time you reach the halfway mark, it will have changed thousand times by then

With full respect but I'm open minded and I would not waste a space. Because of my ferry trip needs:
- TMC is available in my area otherwise I would not ask.
- I need 600km, whichever possible if boundary or along the route (along the route would be better but neither works for long distance with above sys.txt), to see any changes of ferry traffic surrounding roads which are really slow if something is wrong there, it won't clear within 3hours usually and my trip is only 5h and I don't want surprise after 2h of driving only because software is not displaying it for me, it's called planning ahead, so I can change route before reaching online traffic boundary. It happened to me many many times so I know that I need this feature for this exact route.
- regarding constant changes - as above, not in this exact case, if something go wrong, it will go in big style.

For ALL other driving trips exactly as you said. Not for this exact case, that's why I'm looking for possibilities of changing it somehow.

And you think all info is 100% correct You are a great optimist. It only exists in movies

First, you should not rely on iGO TMC. It is known (unfortunately) as insufficiently accurate, with a large delay. Very few companies have realtime infrastructure and only in certain countries
Second - if you're on your way and there's a traffic jam in front of you, there's no way you'll be able to avoid it. Even Google, which maximally spies on its users, is useless in such situations
Get used to it

TMC should only be taken as a pre-trip information service
