Destinator 6 offers TMC pay services in Germany, France and UK
NAVTEQ is supplying map data for Destinator 6 - one of the first portable GPS navigation software solutions to offers a TMC-Pay-Service on PDAs with no monthly or annual fees.
The one-off licence fee covering all countries is included in the initial purchase price of the product.
Facilitated by NAVTEQ’s TMC codes, PDAs running Destinator 6 software now have access to an extra service called TrafficSam.
TrafficSam currently supports TMC pay services in three countries: the TMC-pro Service from T-Systems in Germany; the Trafficmaster service in the UK; and ViaMichelin Traffic’s Premium TMC Service in France.
In other countries, free TMC services are supported. In due course, as additional real-time pay services become available around Europe and also in the US, they will be integrated into the TrafficSam product.
Whilst TrafficSam is RDS-based using the more up-to-date and comprehensive encrypted data transmitted by TMC-Pay service providers, the Destinator software switches automatically to the freely available traffic information transmitted by radio signal in countries where no Premium TMC is available.
The premium TMC messages include information gained from sensors, bridge cameras, floating vehicles and, soon, GSM network information as well. This provides real-time availability of more accurate traffic data.
Destinator 6 can work across international borders moving seamlessly from one country map to another. Supported by NAVTEQ’s single global specification, Destinator 6 works seamlessly across international borders.
