Whether it is possible in Artemis to switch on TMC function? In it in fact is FM a tuner with RDS, and TMC the information is transferred through RDS.
For as far as I know, the P3300 does not have TMC. Unfortunately
You cannot use the inbuilt radio for TMC - it simply cannot perform this function, you can get TMC via GPRS and subscription to the service.
I did read some pre device release information that claimed the P3300 could do TMC via its internal radio, but I think the article was typical media hype (or more accuratly they didn't know what they were talking about).
The inbuilt radio will support RDS (which on the Arte gives basic channel names) - that is about the limit, if you want traffic information look at your options for GPRS connectivity and prices - Mike
RDS data IS accesible from applications - look at FM Radio application.
It means, that other application can access RDS data too - including TMC information.
Would you like to enlighten us how you get RDC TMC information from the in built Radio on the device? - Mike
What XCRIME means that similar Pdas with built in gps inc TMC works.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) provides a anticipatory route optimization. TMC is a special application of the FM Radio Data System (RDS), constantly sending up-to-the-minute traffic information and weather data, that are being received by the TMC receiver. The navigation systems ( like Navigon MN5 )matches these data with your route within seconds. If there is congestion ahead, it automatically offers you an alternative route.( source the Navigon site)....
At the moment the Eten 500 & 500 with built in GPS & tmc module + supports tmc using the Destinator ot Route 66 navigation systems ( both support Royaltek–Protocol ) using the headphone as an antenna to recieve the tmc broadcasts.Only drawback is that you can only hear sound/ instructions via the head phone in this instance...
I expect that the Artemis will have an update to allow us to use this function.
Hello,
maybe it will work with one of those TMC adapters from GNS (e.g. GNS TrafficBox Universal maybe)?
GNS TMC adapter info

Anyone tried those?

Hi, and welcome...
The issue in this thread is how we can use the inbuilt FM RDS tuner on the P3300 to receive TMC, and use the information in for example Tomtom or some other navigation application.

Hi and thanks for the welcome. I understand the issue of this thread, I just thought it could be a workaround to get TMC to work until someone find a solution or a patch is released to use the internal radio for TMC.
I don't have one of those myself, just interested if someone already tested them with the Orbit/Artemis? Ok, maybe I will open a new thread on this later...
Regards
You can forget TMC in combination with TomTom. If I remember correctly TomTom uses it's own TMC network or something like that. In order to get the traffic information on your TomTom you need to use the service TomTom is offering, ofcourse they are going to let you pay for that service.
Mobile Navigator uses the normal TMC which comes with the standard RDS.
But for now it's not even possible to get that working. I personally doubt it will come availible, because if it would I think HTC had already mentioned it somehow.
TomTom use iTIS holdings for their traffic service, this information is broadcast over the Classic FM network within the UK (99.9 to 101.9FM - dependent upon location). Classic FM coverage isn't too good, low signal strength etc, couple that fact with the poor quality aerial supplied as part of the headphones with the Artemis and TMC (if it were possible) would simply never work IMHO - Mike
Isn´t there somebody with a P3300 who can contact HTC in order to ask whether RDS EON/TMC will come availible in the future?
@Bart1981: Why do you ask, if anybody could ask HTC?
Perhaps, YOU can ask?!

Lol I tried but the mail returned to me with the awsner: Don't know what to do Seemed they missed some sort of number.
You can send an e-mail throughout the Support section, but then you need to fill in an IMEI number of your P3300, and guess what, I don't have a P3300
So that's the reason why I asked if somebody else could ask it for me. But if you have the right e-mail adres for me, I'll be happy to ask it for everybody on this forum
TMC on P3300 way to activate (worked with my Eten G500)
Hi,
The TMC function works with Route 66 Navigate 7 and some other soft.
If you really want TMC and don't want to pay for it, don't use tomtom, it's as simple as that, it's only a paid gprs connection.
Route 66 is as good as tomtom (only street selection is not so user friendly) and it has a free TMC function.
Just plug in the earphones (=tmc antenna built in!) otherwise it won't work. Scan the FM radio for the RDS posts and normally you get some texts after a while about traffic jams, accidents, .... interesting!
It worked with my Eten G500, still have to test it on the P3300, but this is the way of working. If it doesn't work, you probably need the newest firmware upgrade, found on the ftp of xda developpers.
If you don't want to use the earphones as antenna, you can get a 'wurfel' antenna on ebay from Germany, from 3.5mm jack to small antenna. I hope they are developping a carcharger with TMC antenna, like you can find allready on ebay from other brands like garmin, though it's expensive, about €70
Cheers,
Innovator
I use Route 66 on my unit but I have only ever obtained TMC via GPRS are you sure yours is actually using the radio? - try turning off the phone and see if it still receives data - Mike

Can you post a link for that antenna ? Cause i'm looking for something like that.
Thanx
Is anybody tried the tmc function?
TMC on Artemis/P3300
Any news on trying to get TMC on Artemis/P3300?

i have come over this software from ETEN all work on my Artemis but not the TMC mabe some one can work it out to work
Hi!
Is there any alternative FM tuner software that could be used with P3300. The original software is OK, but I miss a RDS AF (alternative frequency) option.
Regards,
PK
I'm still not sure there is even RDS on the P3300. If there is no RDS than other radio software will not help.
The device does have RDS, it can display the radio station name but in order for this to work you need a good quality signal, sadly the aerial built into the headphones isn't up to much in way of reception - Mike
I think receiving the station's name and displaying other Data ist not quite the same. I believe RDS PS is the Service that displays the Stations Name. Nearly all Radios have that. I have some radios though, that are capable of Displaying the Station Name, but no further informations. These Informations come with RDS EON (Radio Data System with Enhanced other Networks) AF and TA, only to name two, are services that come along with RDS EON. So i am guessing, that Artemis FM Software is truly capable of RDS, but not EON.
I'd also like to have a software that can do that
Hi. If you get the ViaMichelin naviagation software onto your P3300, will it then be able to recieve TMC messages? On ViaMichelin HP it says that it use FM radio to recieve updates? http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/GPS/htm/nav/our-advantages.htm
Cheers
regarding similar question, I've got following answer from HTC:
....there is a hardware element that is required to translate and use the TMC data so it is impossible to. As of yet, no HTC devices support this.

it's sounds like somebody is making us fools.
TMC information is sent using FM RDS transmission - the same transmission is providing your fauvorite stations names.
FM Radio application is able to read and show RDS transmission - anybody can see RDS info on the screen. IF the RDS transmission is accessible from FM RADIO application, THEN SHOULD be accessible from TMC-related applications. The question is - which port is used for communication, speed, baud, etc.
The other way is to disassemble FM Radio application from Artemis.
This has been discussed 10 times. RDS and TMC are different things concerning the physical radio waves. You need an extra hardware filter for TMC to be able to read it. A software update can't do that job because you cannot access the TMC information from the radio waves.
According to http://www.rds.org.uk/, TMS is just extension to RDS, same as EON, TI etc.
Availabity of TMC info should be subject to FM receiver architecture.

This prog is made up of a FM radio receiver, that consists of a card in Compact Flash (CF) format in combination with mobile radio software.
You maybe able to get the software but I seriously doubt it would work.

I have question about FM RADIO for Hermes. Can it working in Poland? Where can I found that program?
Why would you want FM in India? it's rubbish, get MP3's of your own and play it off the phone than listen to some repetitive playlist (with tonnes of ads) that they call FM channels here!
???????
JAJAJJAJAJA BTW how ca you make it works? if hermes dont has the hardware? jajajaa men are u lost...?
fm
do you have media package with your service?
Thread Closure
No hardware for FM in HERMES.
It will never work.
This thread needs to be CLOSED.
Can anyone shed some light on the topic?
What are the options in this application, is it 88mhz-108?
Can I use my normal headphones or do I need to use the ones that came with it?
Can I save stations? Can I listen to the radio and browse the internet at the same time? Are there any videos available showing it in action?
1) it`s an FM radio so 88 to 108 only
2) Yes u can.
2) You can save stations and yes you can listen radio and do anything else (e.g surf the web). For videos try youtube.
Can someone confirm that RDS isn't working? If so, could this be a hardware or software missing feature?
Thanks.
RDS - Definately NOT working on mine, no idea if either hard or software related...sorry...but picks up a lot more stations than my (now sold) HD2.
If RDS is the thing which tells the handset what station it is (eg BRMB, Radio 1) then yes, RDS works for me.

Doesn't appear to work on mine.
RDS works fine for me.. finds Radio 1, Rock Radio, Classic, Key 103 (these in Manchester).
Works pretty well on my Desire!!
RDS doesn't work for me either. Berlin/Germany. Maybe this feature is location based?
