Hi,
I don't use a smartphone so am looking for a Sat Nav that supports traffic via radio. As I understand it, TomTom devices support traffic using a 12V charger with built-in receiver. I am in the UK.
My questions are:
Do all the models support RDS-TMC and to the same level? If not, then which current & recent models do, and/or what are the differences with respect to traffic?
Is the same RDS-TMC charger compatible with all TomTom models (that support it), or do different models require different chargers?
What are people's experiences with RDS-TMC in the UK?
Thanks.

sorry i have not used it. but the link has more information about the coverage http://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5826/~/rds-tmc-coverage
If you look at the specifications some of the TT models have an inbuilt mobile sim which gets traffic from the TT servers as well as other services. You do not have an ongoing cost for this service..
The models are the GO 5/6000, Go5/6100, Go 5/200 and the current Premium models. Not all of these are current models but the 5/6200 models are very recent devcies which are readily available.
