UK TMC service and Miomap

Ace58 · Occasional Visitor Joined: Sep 29, 2006 Posts: 4

I am new to GPS - received my Mio P550 yesterday!

I've seen various accounts of TMC in the UK - basically, it seems to be a subscription service, unlike the rest of Europe!

Please can you advise on the following:

1) Can I upgrade my P550/MioNav V3.2 GPS to recieve TMC - or do I need to get (say) TomTom software?
2) What is the most compatible TMC antenna
3) What is the subscription cost?

Many thanks

Ace

I've been trying to get TMC working on my C210, but with no luck.

As a result of this, I'm liaising with a UK distributor who is due to see his Mio Rep shortly.

Hopefully, he'll have answers to some questions I put to him recently and I'l be happy to pass any information on.

Hi Everyone,

I contacted Mio and to my total amazement received a reply within minutes:

"We will release an update link on our website in about two weeks. With this
link you can update the version 3 on your device so that you can use the TMC antenna.
As soon as this link is available we will also release the TMC antenna for
Mio C210 on our site."

We'll have to wait a couple of weeks to see what (if anything) happens.
