Traffic updates on rns510

(1/1)

Gtiain:
Hi again,
I thought that the traffic updates feature on the rns 510 was something that you needed to subscribe to? However I seem to be getting them. I think it's a great feature as I was redirected yesterday due to traffic and didn't run into any. tWas great.

stealthwolf:
I think it uses the traffic information from one of the radio stations that you preselect. Sometimes useful. Sometimes not.

Gtiain:
Right I see, yeah I can imagine sometimes going quite far out of the way just to avoid some traffic could get a bit annoying.

Thor:
If you press the traffic button, it gives you a list of all the delays, starting with major roads iirc.  :happy2:  cracking feature that

LouCyffer:
It uses the traffic info signal that is broadcast piggyback on the commercial radio network. It's the same signal that traffic info capable TomTom units use. There is no subscription necessary.
