Save drive time, gas, and your sanity by adding traffic services to your compatible Garmin with help of the portable GTM 11.

Avoid Traffic Tie-ups
The GTM 11 is an FM TMC (Traffic Message Channel) traffic receiver and antenna. It receives digital information (where available) on traffic and road construction tie-ups that your compatible Garmin unit uses to offer an alternate route. TMC data, available in a fast-growing number of cities throughout North America and Europe, gives prompt, accurate notification of accidents, road construction, police, or emergency action, etc. — so you can visually monitor traffic flow and, if necessary, avoid traffic tie-ups.

Receive Real-time Traffic Data
In most areas, depending on the service provider, TMC traffic broadcasts are continuous — there's no waiting for scheduled traffic news updates or random alerts. With the GTM 11, you see traffic developments in real-time, as they happen, so you can make the right decision sooner. The system alerts you when a traffic problem is on your route and proposes an alternate route to avoid the incident. Because traffic broadcasts are received via a "silent" FM data channel, you can still listen to music or news programming on your car radio without interference from incoming FM traffic data transmissions.

The GTM 11 is a plug-and-play FM RDS-TMC receiver that does not require professional installation.

Subscription Information
Traffic services are available only in select cities where coverage exists. A subscription may be required to enable traffic capability.
Throughout most of Western Europe, basic TMC data is a free public service, accessible through a number of providers. In France and the UK, premium service requires a subscription. In the U.S., a subscription to the Total Traffic Network is required.

The GTM 11 comes in the configurations listed below. Visit our FM TMC Traffic Service pages to extend your current service or purchase a service plan for an additional area.
