Posted: Tue Aug 04, 2009 5:02 pm Post subject: Traffic information in France |
|
|
I recently bought an RDS/TMC receiver for my 720, which works ok in the UK. I am at present in France, and although it worked fine until I got to the docks at Dover, once I was in France the traffic sidebar did not appear, and most of the traffic options are greyed out. I was using an itinerary I had prepared at home, but in case it needed to know I was in France I did a couple of map searches for French addresses - still no joy. I could have done with it yesterday, experiencing horrific traffic jams on the A7.
Is there anything I have to do to make it work?

In the traffic preferences, you may have told the TT to search only UK RDS stations. Haven't got a TT with RDS-TMC on it to have a look.
I remember one of Tomtoms tips to get RDS-TMC working in the UK was to select 'search only UK radio stations' or some option like that! _________________ Tomtom GO 1005 LIVE

The traffic sidebar appears before it even looks for stations, so you have some problem with the TT recognising that the traffic module is present. Perhaps a hard reset would help? _________________ Tomtom Go 1005

But it was working all the way to Dover!

I agree - if the sidebar is not showing the unit is not recognising the RDS-TMC. Presumably you have tried a soft reset? If that does not work your only other option is the hard job. _________________ Alan

I have pressed the reset button for 30 seconds. What else should I try?
