Hi - I use Orange on a Pay-as-you-go SIM, and I've been using Traffic since TTN5 was release. In that time, I've done some 9500 miles, using TTN and Traffic, of which, about half of those miles have ... |

Golfer - not sure if you can change your GPRS settings, but I suspect it's not worth it. I regularly drive from the UK (west London) to Holland (Breda) and use traffic with ten-minute update interval ... |

I've often wondered if we'll see a holder which has an amplifier/speaker built in, but which is able to get the speaker signal from the connector at the bottom, rather than having to plug a 3.5mm jack ... |

Same problem here. I just copied my modified data.chk back onto the PPC, and all has been well since. Well, I've lost my stylus somewhere today, but I don't think that's related to it. |

Just a thought, but do you suppose that the 'orange/yellow' traffic icon only appears under the following scenario:

Bug: traffic delays/queues/roadworks shown on the map may appear to be on the wrong side of the road, but the 'rippling effect' of arrows may appear to be correct. This seems to occur most of the tim ... |
