FM TMC TRAFFIC INFORMATION

Using a Garmin® GTM 10 FM TMC Trafﬁc Receiver,

your Garmin GPS device can receive and use Trafﬁc

Message Channel (TMC) trafﬁc information broadcast

over the FM Radio Data System (RDS). When a trafﬁc

message is received, your GPS device can use the

trafﬁc information to dynamically change your route to

avoid the trafﬁc incident. No more changing the radio

stations to hear the latest trafﬁc report!

Service Information

The US and UK versions of the GTM 10 provide pay

service subscriptions. Your subscription activates when

the GTM 10 is installed and ﬁrst receives trafﬁc signals

from the pay service. The UK subscription is a lifetime

subscription; it does not expire.

The European version of the GTM 10 uses the free

services available in many countries in Europe. You

can use the free services available or purchase a

subscription for pay service, where available.

Purchasing Subscription Service

To renew your subscription or purchase an additional

subscription, go to the Garmin’s FM Trafﬁc Web site at

http://www.garmin.com/fmtrafﬁc.

To purchase a subscription, you need the GTM 10

trafﬁc receiver’s unit ID. Refer to your GPS device’s

Owner’s Manual to retrieve your GTM 10’s unit ID.

Follow the steps on the Web site to obtain a 25-

character Trafﬁc Subscription Code. Enter this code

into your Garmin GPS unit to access pay services. Use

this area to record your Trafﬁc Subscription Code.

USING TRAFFIC DATA WITH YOUR GPS DEVICE

USING TRAFFIC DATA WITH YOUR

GPS DEVICE

The GTM 10 works with your Garmin GPS to display

trafﬁc events and enable re-routing. The FM TMC

trafﬁc information is received through radio signals

transmitted by independent service providers. With the

GTM 10 in your vehicle, you can see trafﬁc problems

down the road and avoid them! This section provides

an overview of the trafﬁc data.

 NOTE: The GTM 10 and GPS device must be in

data range of an FM station that is transmitting

TMC data to receive trafﬁc information. The

data range of an FM station is not as far as the

listening range.

 NOTE: Garmin is not responsible for the

accuracy of the trafﬁc information. The GTM 10

simply receives signals from the trafﬁc service

provider and displays that information on your

GPS device.

Although each model of GPS device operates

differently, they all provide the same basic trafﬁc

information.

Symbols on the Map

The map displays icons that represent trafﬁc events.

For example, the map might show a construction

symbol meaning that roadwork is in progress in that

area. The symbols vary by region but are highly

recognizable.

Trafﬁc Information Lists

Each trafﬁc event is displayed in a list. You can read

the list for incidents in your path and in your area.

Route Changes

If you are navigating a route, your GPS device gives

you the option to alter your route and avoid trafﬁc

incidents.

INSTALLING AND TESTING

 NOTE: This section is provided for your

reference; it contains much of the information that

appears on the Installation Sheet.

Garmin highly recommends that a professional installer

complete the installation. To download a complete

Installation Sheet, go to http://www.garmin.com

/products/gtm10 and click the Manuals link.

Do not open the GTM 10 or loosen the case screws.

Out: Out to radio. Connect

to radio adapter cable.

1.5-meter Mini-USB cable:

connects to Garmin GPS

device (cord is not to scale)

In: In from antenna. Connect

to antenna adapter cable.

LED: displays the signal status.

Step 1: Prepare the Radio

TEST: Before installation, test the vehicle’s radio

to ensure that the antenna is functioning properly

and the radio can receive all normal FM signals.

Remove the vehicle’s radio to access the antenna cable.

You may need to remove the trim panel or other parts

of the dashboard. Detach the antenna cable.

Step 2: Choose the Appropriate Cables

To select the proper pair of cables to use, match the

adapter cable male end (plug) to the vehicle’s radio

antenna cable plug. Then locate the matching female

(receptacle) cable. Use that pair of cables for the

installation.

INSTALLING AND TESTING

Step 3: Connect to the Radio

1. Connect the antenna plug to the appropriate female

(receptacle) adapter cable. Connect the Fakra plug

to the In connector on the GTM 10. The Fakra plug

locks ﬁrmly in place.

If the antenna cable has a Fakra connector, no adapter

cable is needed between the antenna cable and the

GTM 10 In connector. Connect the Fakra antenna

cable directly into the In connector of the GTM 10.

Then use the supplied dual-ended Fakra cable to

connect the GTM 10 to the radio, as described below.

2. Connect the Fakra connector of the adapter cable to

the Out connector of the GTM 10. Connect the male

(plug) adapter cable into the radio receptacle.

receptacle

TEST: Turn on the vehicle’s radio. If you can

hear sound from an FM radio station, you have

properly connected the GTM 10.

Step 4: Route the Mini-USB Cable

Route the mini-USB cable from behind the radio on the

passenger’s side of the vehicle. If possible, thread the

cable through an existing opening in the glove box or

trim panel. Thread enough cable through the opening to

reach the GPS device. Do not cut the mini-USB cable.

If the mini-USB cable is not long enough to reach the

GPS device, a 2-meter extension cable is available for

purchase from the Garmin Web site at http://www

.garmin.com/products/gtm10 or from a Garmin dealer.

Step 5: Test the GTM 10

Observe the LED: With the GTM 10 connected to the

GPS device, turn on the GPS device. Service reception

is indicated by the Green solid light, which may take

up to ﬁve minutes to appear for initial data acquisition.

GTM 10 Owner’s Manual 5

INSTALLING AND TESTING

Yellow dot-dash ﬂashes: waiting for

initial country code, which is automatically supplied by

the Garmin GPS device.

Yellow fast ﬂashes: searching table

for active entry.

Red/Green ﬂashes: scanning for new

TMC FM stations.

Red solid light: momentary sync loss.

Green solid light: normal trafﬁc data.

Verify Signal Strength: If you are inside a garage

where radio signals cannot be received, you may need

to take the vehicle outside.

Verify that you are in a service area: Check for

service from the pay service or free services, if

available.

Check the Map: Check the map on the GPS device for

trafﬁc alerts. Refer to the Owner’s Manual.

If these tests fail, either you are not in a service area,

the purchased subscription needs to be activated, or the

installation might be faulty.

Step 6: Mount the GTM 10

If possible, place the GTM 10 where the LED can be

seen without dismantling the dashboard.

1. Mount the GTM 10 in one of the following ways:

• Attach with foam tape: clean and dry a ﬂat

surface behind the dashboard. Remove the

backing from the foam tape and attach the GTM

10 to the ﬂat surface.

• Hang freely: bind up any slack cable from the

mini-USB cable with a wire tie and let the GTM

10 hang freely behind the radio.

2. Check that all cables and the GTM 10 are secure

and not obstructed.

3. Replace all parts of the dashboard to their original

locations.

4. Repeat the testing as described in Step 5.
