Dan,

The green circle on the TMC now seems to mean 'I have had a signal in the last 10 minutes or so' NOT 'I have a signal now' as it used to do.

If you browse the traffic incidents when a route is planned do you get any delay indicated for any of them? I don't, but if I unplug the TMC and use my GPRS traffic the same incidents give delay information and add time to the route, which isn't happening on RDS-TMC.

It appears that in response to the wildly inaccurate delay info with RDS-TMC on previous Navcore 7 versions TT have 'fixed' it by just turning off the delay part, it now only notifies you of incidents.

Also, if you have 3 plus incidents on your route how many show on the traffic sidebar - on mine it is none of them and has been with all versions of Navcore 7. If you have ever used RDS-TMC on Navcore 6 you would see all of these incidents on the sidebar with delay times - this how the system is advertised as working by all the TT documentation I have seen. It has never worked like this with Navcore 7. Some people have reported that when they have 2 incidents the first one shows, but not the second. I only ever see anything on the sidebar when there is a single incident.

Is your RDS-TMC performing differently to the above? You need to look how many incidents you have on the route and how much time has been added to your ETA. Rerouting accurately around traffic incidents isn't possible if there is no indication of delays!!

If all you want from the device is to navigate to a postcode while playing music and answering the odd phone call then the device will work fine. It is some of the more obscure menu options that seem to be broken.

As you have found out running the device on its battery alone is not a good idea, and if anything makes the Bluetooth phone problem more likely to occur - Mike

You hit the nail on the head there Dennis, it also says it after rerouting you eg the A361 is shut from Banbury to Daventry for roadworks! started work at 0300 and set up my route on my old 520 but sat in my cab sorting my paperwork out, because the yard is well off road the unit kept trying to place me on a road choosing between 3! i got several traffic on your route has changed messages every time TT locked onto a road! At 3am the only people on the roads round here are us mad truckers hardly enough to change a road condition where the road id closed to all traffic

And how frustrating is it when everyone in front of you is going at 50 MPH through a series of SPECS and you can only travel at 45 MPH (TomTom speed) Laughing Out Loud

The "One moment please..." problem is still there in 7481 (9086) which makes this version unusable for me, so I have reverted to 7.221.
