FM TMC TRAFFIC INFORMATION
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
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.
