- Traffic (TMC)

NOTE: The GPS-410/510 comes from the factory with the UNPAVED ROADS avoidance set to ON.
DISTANCE UNITS: You can set the GPS-410/510's distance units to kilometers/meters, miles/feet or miles/yards. This affects the units shown on the screen, and the units given during voice navigation prompts.
ROUTE PRIORITY: When the GPS-410/510 calculates navigation routes, you can set it to give priority to either the SHORTEST DISTANCE or the SHORTEST TIME.
GPS DATA: This screen displays the following information:

NOTE: Your GPS-410/510 will lose contact with the GPS satellites whenever you turn its power off. After turning the power back on, you will need to go outside to receive the GPS signal again before the navigation functions will operate.
Traffic Message Channel "TMC"
The GPS-410/510 is equipped with a built-in FM receiver to process TMC (Traffic Message Channel) messages. The TMC is a free system to send out free traffic information via RDS (Radio Data System). TMC might or might not be available in your country. Please note that the GPS-410/510 does not support subscription-based TMC services which are available in some countries as an alternative to freely distributed TMC services. In case there is traffic jams along your route the GPS-410/510 will show the traffic information on the map and automatically recalculate the route. If the anticipated delay is too long, the system will put you on an alternative route. You enter the TMC menu by pressing the "Traffic (TMC)" button on the "Navigation" screen You will get a detailed overview of the traffic situation around your current GPS position.
The "Traffic Events" Menu
You can access the "Traffic Events" screen by touching "Traffic event list" on the traffic map screen. The event screen displays all incoming traffic messages sorted by road number. You can either view all current traffic or the events of a particular road. The traffic information contains the type of traffic, the road number and the length of event. You can have a look at each individual traffic event on the map by touching it. Simply hit "Back" on the map view to go back to this screen.
The "TMC Settings" Menu
Normally the GPS-410/510 will automatically tune to the best FM station. If you experience problems with proper TMC reception you can make manual adjustments by touching "Radio Frequency Settings". On the following screen you can make all kinds of adjustments. If the display shows "no TMC" and there is no FM frequency

scanning please first check if the FM antenna is plugged in correctly (see chapter "Installa tion and Use in a Vehicle"). If this is the case then simply hit "Turn Manual ON" and then again "Turn Automatic ON". This initiates automatic scanning of the FM band. You should see the FM frequency changing while the TMC receiver scans the FM band for a valid TMC station. If FM reception quality is sufficient and there is available free TMC in your country it should lock onto a valid station shortly.
If you would like to manually tune to a preferred FM station, please select "Turn Manual ON" in the Radio Frequency Settings screen under the Traffic (TMC) function and use the "<" and ">" Buttons. This allows you to select an FM station which broadcasts TMC messages, but may be too weak to be found automatically. "Exclude this station" will deny the FM station which is currently in use. This feature allows you to avoid FM stations submitting poor TMC data.
Thereafter the device will search for an alternative FM station. Press on the main TMC Settings screen to enable denied stations. The system will again include them in its searching process.
The Source Screen
Touching the SOURCE button on any of the GPS-410/510's screens displays the SOURCE screen (right).
The SOURCE screen lets you select the GPS-410/510's navigation, music player or video player functions. (Video function only GPS-510). The SOURCE screen lets you change the GPS-410/510's settings, as well. (See Changing Settings, on page 23.)
![graph TD A["Navigation"] --> B["Music"] C["Video"] --> D["Settings"] E["Back"] --> F["14.20"] G["Source"] --> H["Green icon"]](/content/2026/06/1267269/images/c4463f2f8dcf810517dd380b252c31d50953bc794e47b98c7823f8d9bd498e6d.jpg)
The SOURCE screen also displays the strength of the GPS signal the GPS-410/510 is receiving, the local time and the GPS-410/510 battery's charge level.
Playing Music and Video Files (Video only GPS-510)
In addition to its navigation functions, your GPS-410/510 can play your music and video files. These files must be loaded onto an SD media card (not included). SD memory cards are available that can hold up to 4GB of audio/video media. The GPS-410/510 supports regular SD and SDHC cards up to 32GB (formatted with FAT32).

Loading Media on Your SD Card
There are two ways to transfer media from your computer to an SD card inserted into your GPS-410/510: via USB Mass Storage or via MTP (Media
Transfer Protocol). Touch the SETTINGS button on the SOURCE screen, then touch the USB button. The USB screen (right) will appear, with buttons for MTP and USB MASS STORAGE modes.
MTP (MEDIA TRANSFER PROTOCOL)
MTP mode transfers files using the SYNC mode of Windows

Media® Player (ver. 10 or higher). If necessary, Windows Media Player will automatically transcode video files to a format supported by GPS-410/510. To allow for proper transcoding please ensure that your Windows PC is able to playback the media file.
To use the MTP mode, you must have a PC that is running the Windows® XP operating system (Service Pack 2 or higher) and has Windows Media Player 10 or higher installed.
To Transfer Files to the GPS-410/510 IN MTP MODE:
-
Insert a regular SD card into the GPS-410/510's SD card slot (see page 4).
-
Make sure the USB cable is disconnected from the GPS-410/510.
-
Set the GPS-410/510's USB mode to MTP (see page 19).
-
Connect the GPS-410/510 to your computer's USB hub (right).
-
Launch Windows Media Player.
-
Locate the files you want to transfer.
-
Select Windows Media Player's Sync mode (see below).
-
Drag the files you want to transfer into the Windows Media Player SYNC LIST (see below).

Once the Sync is finished, you can unplug the GPS-410/510 from your computer and watch or listen to the files on it. (See Listening to Music, on page 22, and Watching Videos, on page 23).
USB MASS STORAGE
The USB Mass Storage mode lets you transfer files the using drag-and-drop method on your computer – the same method you use to transfer files from one folder or drive to another. However, when transferring files in the USB Mass Storage mode, video files that are in formats not supported by GPS-410/510 will be transferred without transcoding. These files won't be playable on your GPS-410/510 but will take up space on your SD card.
TO TRANSFER TILES TO THE GPS-410/510 IN THE USB MASS STORAGE MODE:
- Insert an SD card into the GPS-410/510's SD card slot (see page 4).
- Make sure the USB cable is disconnected from the GPS-410/510.
- Set the GPS-410/510's USB mode to USB MASS STORAGE (see page 19).
- Connect the GPS-410/510 to your computer's USB hub (see page 20).
-
