Using TMC in Garmin nuvi for free

**petamm** · 11th October 2011, 04:38 AM

Wondering for some that had problems if there isn't a sequence you have to follow.
Just installed lifetime subscription on Nuvi 660 with no problems.
Here's how I installed

Generated - USA, Total Traffic Network (US, CAN): 28992, 0, 0, 1 and entered generated code
POWER OFF THE UNIT & restarted the unit, so it starts fully in PRE BOOT MODE
Generated - Canada, Total Traffic Network (US, CAN): 31808, 0, 0, 1 and entered generated code
POWER OFF THE UNIT & restarted the unit, so it starts fully in PRE BOOT MODE
SHOWS
TTN (US,CAN): Lifetime Suscription

Generated - USA, NAVTEQ (US, CAN): 28935, 0, 0, 1 and entered generated code
POWER OFF THE UNIT & restarted the unit, so it starts fully in PRE BOOT MODE
Generated - Canada, NAVTEQ (US, CAN): 31751, 0, 0, 1 and entered generated code
POWER OFF THE UNIT & restarted the unit, so it starts fully in PRE BOOT MODE
SHOWS BOTH
TTN (US,CAN): Lifetime Suscription
NAVTEQ (US,CAN): Lifetime Suscription

Been using GPS for couple months now and it seems to work good

How could I deduct the FID, PID, SID and RgnID parameters from this table?

Looks like those lat and long are just the coordinates of Mexic border (shifted west). It just tells the traffic receiver where to stop looking for signals (at the border crossing).
Place them on google maps...

from your post is not sufficient info. further need is the provider and if possible the FM table form work unit.

It is not activating in São Paulo, Brazil, at least for me.
Is this really available here? Garmin does not seems to sell it ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]).

sound like free service

**oski** · 14th October 2011, 07:09 PM

Replying to #326, the FM table for Mexico as I had already posted in #282 is:

"unamed provider"
881, 11, 15, 0, 7
947, 3, 15, 0, 11
937, 10, 15, 0, 128
"($)" provider
953, 6, 15, 36, 11
1065, 6, 15, 36, 11
993, 6, 15, 36, 11

One supplier is TTN the other is Navteq.

**samsat** · 25th October 2011, 10:38 PM

I tried this many months ago and managed to get Navteq lifetime working on my Nuvi 760.
I still cant get TTN to work. It says liftetime after entering the USA code but then expires after a few minutes.
When I add the Canada code it stays expired.

Is there some special sequence or technique I need to try to get TTN to work?
