The TMC can trigger and place an icon on screen though, I think that it will trigger a voice alert "traffic queing ahead" something like that, the TMC must have a hookin to the OS to be able to do this, if the POI DB is already there modding one of the TMC waring icons with navtweak and sound with navspeak then it sounds possible.

I assume that the TMC works like so;

Car know where it is (GPS),
TMC broadcasts data on problems (with GPS loctaion)
TMC enabled Map discs listen and store TMC info,
If car GPS location and TMC info GPS location are close then
Trigger correct display icon and audio alert.

Somewhere in the OS the TMC signal carries the info for the correct icon and the correct audio alert,

Hmmm I see, the problem is the camera DB, how will the TMC part be able to access the POI db on the map disc...
