Current Location
Destination
Lets you search near a specified destination. For example, you know your
general destination, but not very much about interesting locations in the area.
You can use Destinator to locate the tourist attractions close to your
destination. Note that this button is enabled only when a destination is
entered.
Lets you search near another address. For example, you have set a
destination, but on the way you want to stop at another location. You can use
this feature to search near that location for restaurants, lodging, historical
sites, or other locations.
Other Address
Search Radius
Enter the location distance to search for a designated place. For example, if
you enter 5 km, Destinator only searches within a five kilometre radius.
When you select a large search radius, you risk the chance of finding too
many locations, which makes it harder to find the place that you are searching
for. It is best to start with a small search radius size, and then increase the
radius size if necessary.
Note: if you don’t specify a search radius, Destinator searches the whole
map and displays the locations according to the distance from you.

Traffic Information (Optional)
What is the Traffic Message Channel?
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a specific application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) used for
broadcasting real-time traffic and weather information. Data messages are received silently, decoded, and
delivered to a TMC-enabled navigation system that can offer dynamic route guidance – alerting the driver to
a problem on the planned route and calculating an alternative route to avoid the incident.
Coverage of the Service
TMC Services cover nearly all of Western Europe. Each service is transmitted by a national, regional, or
local broadcaster. TMC Service provides traffic information for monitored roads only, motorways and main
roads. TMC radio transmissions reception can change from area to area, depending on weather conditions,
static electricity, power lines, and other natural or man-made conditions.
Disclaimer
Destinator Technologies is not responsible for any damage caused by an accident due to unreliable TMC
radio transmissions by national, regional, or local broadcasters caused by TMC service restrictions, or by
natural and man-made conditions that prevent real-time traffic and weather information from being
delivered to the TMC-enabled navigation system. Destinator Technologies is not responsible for the
quality or accuracy of the events broadcast and the method by which they are displayed.
TMC Antenna Installation
Installing the TMC Antenna:
1. Place the wired antennas horizontally in the car using the rubber stickers provided. It is
recommended that the antenna be attached to the windscreen. Please note that some car models
(especially French) use coated windscreen glass and placing the radio antenna on other windows is
therefore recommended on these cars.
2. The TMC system automatically locates the frequency of the closest radio station and recommends
an alternate route when traffic events (such as congestion or an accident) are detected. For more
information, please refer to the user manual.
3. Other traffic events – such as General Information, Roadworks and Weather – are also monitored to
let the user avoid these events manually.
Destinator Traffic Service
Destinator provides the following traffic service:
1. The Destinator Traffic Engine monitors the events relevant to your route only.
2. Destinator automatically calculates the best alternative route.
3. Every 5 minutes, Destinator re-evaluates the traffic conditions and route accordingly.
4. No additional registration or activation is required. Simply use your device in the way you are used
to.

Traffic Info Alert
Traffic (TMC) messages are national and regional FM radio broadcasts that are used to inform drivers of
traffic, weather, and other driving conditions, as shown below.
The Traffic Alert icon appears each time a traffic event is encountered. The
alert description is displayed in the TMC Inbox screen, which can be
opened by tapping on the Traffic Alert icon.
Figure 25 - Traffic Info Alert
Note: Some car models (especially French) use coated windscreen glass, and placing the radio antenna on
other windows is therefore recommended on these cars. An alternative solution is to install an Antenna
Splitter that lets you use your usual radio antenna. For more information about the Antenna Splitter, please
go to http://www.gns-gmbh.com
TMC information is received by your TMC-enabled GPS receiver and monitored by your software.
Destinator can automatically reroute your travel to avoid areas that TMC indicates are troublesome to
drivers. For instance, if there is a storm or accident in your vicinity, your route would be recalculated to
avoid the problem.
