I got the same email. I tried testing it out by planning a route to a few places in France and there were incidents avoided/delays included in the route on the French side. If only I had to go to Europe. |

It's a pity Belgium isn't included. My usual route to anywhere in France is ferry Newcastle to Amsterdam, then down through Holland and Belgium. |

Live has always shown French traffic when a route is planned/being used from UK to the continent, but only whilst you are still in the UK. I go to France on average 3/4 times a month so I'm keeping my fingers crossed _________________ Go740L App 9.510 Europe 985.8155

I got the message delivered straight to my Live device:
Quite funny though how it reads the message out via the TTS - Mike |

It is odd that all other European countries which have live services get live services in all live service countries, except for the UK who for some odd reason do not get Belgium.
Also today for the first time I saw Live Services working on a local B road where there is always congestion. _________________ Drivelux |

Because you've been away playing with fireworks! Have to admit it's a surprise that I haven't got either message - I've got UK & ROI only! _________________ Dennis

I've just returned from a 24hr return trip to Lyon, and inspite of having received the email, although not Mike's message, NO ROAMING. Suprise surprise. I did try rebooting a few times but still the message no coverage. At least RDS_TMC was the best it's been for some time. I suppose I'll have to contact TomTom tomorrow, although I should know better! _________________ Go740L App 9.510 Europe 985.8155
