Last night I came of the shuttle in Calais at about 2230 local, on my way to Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, a 2 1/4 hour journey. 4 lots of high wind symbols come up on my TMC. Almost immediatly Jane called out, and I swear she sounded gleefull, that total dealys to traffic were 19 HOURS! Shocked

Can anyone beat that? Needless to say there was no delays at all! I've come to the conclusion that the bug is because TT won't release the v7 SDK to their own TMC developers Smile

The only record to beat that must be the delay in TomTom fixing the problem Very Happy

Does the wind symbols come up on the main screen?

When I was using the PDA version the wind and ice symbols appears when necessary but on the TT910 i only ever see these if a browse the Traffic Map.

"GENERAL" wind symbols only appear on the "Traffic/Map" screen, as an regularly spaced, warning icon across the entire map (Traffic Map only that is).

HOWEVER... Specific key wind based issues, DO appear as a relevant individual item, where necessary, on the traffic map, AND also the main map screen.

Example of what I mean...

Tyneside these past few nights... The High wind generic equidistant symbol has been on my TRAFFIC map, each night (and only shown on the TRAFFIC map, not the main screen itself).

BUT, the last two nights, I have ALSO had a specific "Wind-sock" (different) symbol, on my "Traffic Map" AND my normal map screen, warning me of a high wind issue on the Redheugh bridge between Gateshead and Newcastle.

(The Redheugh Bridge is a high, open, and unprotected, concrete vehicle bridge, similar to the Skye Bridge, but actually much longer, but without the curved bump climb then drop up in the middle. As a result, when it is windy, it gets closed to high sided vehicles {hence the windsock symbol the past two nights, warning of an 'issue' but not a closure}, and when REALLY bad, gets closed altogether, as it did last Tuesday, when TomTom Traffic correctly reported a "Closed Road")

I trust this covers the two different things you were asking about, and also how each gets reported on the device when using Traffic.

General High winds - Traffic Map only, and a wind symbol spaced equally (can't remember what it looks like just now)

SPECIFIC wind issues - get reported on both Traffic Map, AND shown on main screen, as a wind-sock symbol, and a description (textual) of the actual problem)

Feel free to reply back, if I missed something.

The wind symbols came up on the main traffic area on the right hand side of the screen if that's what you mean. They appeared to be faithfully following the autoroute gantry signs which proves that ViaMichelin (TT's French TMC partner) was being efficient. The only problem was TT's interpretation. On the way back it was telling me there was 97 kms of queing traffic on about 120km of the A26! Laughing
