First Post - right software versions?

[pangdene]

Hi everyone,

my first post! :D

Just got a Garmin 310D from Halfords (my first Sat Nav) and have been reading lots of posts here to try and get up to speed...

I checked the software versions before doing any updates and they were as follows:

SW - 2.40
AUDIO - 2.20
GTM SW VERSION - N/A
GPS SW VERSION - 2.70
BLUETOOTH SW VERSION - 2.21

I then manually downloaded the latest release from the Garmin site (v3.1) and ran that.
The software versions are now:

SW - 3.10
AUDIO - 2.20
GTM SW VERSION - N/A
GPS SW VERSION - 2.80
BLUETOOTH SW VERSION - 2.21

I then ran webupdater a few times and it just picked up new vehicles and a few languages, nothing else.
Checked the software versions again and they were unchanged.

So my question is - are these the correct versions?

I also got the 6017 charger in the pack, so have emailed Garmin requesting the 6025.

Cheers
:D

Yes. You are up to date (Oct 06)

Are you having trouble with the power cable?

well I'm guessing I am by the fact that I just can't get any TrafficMaster data coming through and I have a 6017 charger.

Had a very rapid email response from Garmin who have sent me a surpressor kit to try out.... will see if that helps.

Cheers
:D

As you may have read already some cars have a special type of glass to block radio signals, called Athermic. This blocks TMC radio data.

Some note's for you to try,
You must use a power supply other than the internal battery to run TMC
The TMC only plugs into the side socket of the nuvi
Try indoors using a mains adaptor, using the rear socket
You may live in a poor TMC reception area.
Try a laptop as a source of power in the car to test TMC
