Using TMC in Garmin nuvi for free

**samsat** · 5th January 2011, 07:11 AM

As others have reported, my 760 worked successfully with the Navteq codes, but expires within a minute of entering the TTN codes even when both USA and Canada codes are entered.

Did you connected your TMC Receiver? This option is only available when the TMC Receiver is connected

On Nuvi 760 NAVTEQ code worked but no TTN. I don't see the traffic ICON on the screen. Maybe I'll have to set a route to see the ICON. Will try driving around tomorrow to see if I get traffic info.

Tried it with Nuvi 660

TTN subscription would not stay activated for more than a couple of minutes.
