Navigon 4350 - TMC and speed limit problems

brms · Occasional Visitor Joined: Apr 16, 2006 Posts: 12

Had my navigon for a week now, and still getting used to it (having had the TomTom 1 original for as few years). I can't get the road speed limit info or warning to come up, and I don't seem to be getting TMC info (though the unit says premium TMC is installed). Have travelled from Inverness - Glasgow - Edinburgh - Inverness, with no sign of speed limits or traffic info. Am I missing some way of activating all of this? (It took me a while to work out how to activate the speed camera warnings.)

Check all your SETTINGS (there are several of sets of these on different screens) in case they need to be turned on. Come back if that's not the problem.

Tried all the settings screens, and even tried as factory reset - no trace of anything to do with TMC, and nothing on the speed limits. I've emailed Navigon - no reply yet on their 24-hr response service.

Take a look in the TMC settings, see if it's searching for an FM station. Not sure what reception would be like where you live but TMC via FM is a bit hit and miss.

As for the speed limits are you referring to the icon on screen or the speed camera locations?

Speed limits don't show on all roads, and to activate the speed cameras I'm certain you have to activate it in Navigon Fresh or something. My dad has a 4350Max and does have both working.

I'm not getting any menus relating to TMC at all - feels like it's not activated, but it shows up in Navigon fresh.

I've got the speed cameras working, but no indication of speed limits - and I've been on motorways and other major roads.

Navigon helpline kept telling me to use menus which were simply not there. Went to Halford's (who got the same story from Navigon) and they gave me a replacement. This has the TMC menues, and all seems well (apart from the downloading map problem!). Looks like Navigon manage to ship units which don't have the TMC chip/software inside, even though the box says they do. Not clever of them.
