Thread: Using TMC in Garmin nuvi for free

Following up on my own post #276, I see now that there are two traffic suppliers in Mexico City:
TTN and Navteq.
The Garmin traffic page reports Navteq data which is also available in the Navteq page. That Navteq data seems to be more up to date than the TC data I get on my Nuvi 660.
I will post the FM table as is being shown in my Nuvi 660 later. Anyone can help me with the FID, PID, RgnID, VenID for Navteq?

This uses the correct CC, which is 15 for Mexico (as i said before)
Working or not write here the result, okay?
good luck

Hi Alexandre!

I try the code that you suggest but just some closed roads appear. Here (in Mexico) the Mio GPS brand is the only that offer free traffic alerts service by TTN. There is no way to legally subscribe a Garmin device to the service so is very frustrating. TTN and Navteq transmits alerts but is no way to purchase the service.

I've managed to find the TMC definitions for that device (attached), do you think you could help me to find a solution to activate the traffic service on my device? I have the US and CA Navteq lifetime factory activated in my nüvi.

I really hate the Mio devices

Hi, according to Bearcat at post #127, "I found out that for SG/MY traffic, you do not need the SG/MY firmware. You need the Singapore unit version of the trafficprovider.xml copied to the replace the version in the US units and you will receive the traffic signals."

Am using a US 1390T, does anyone has a file of trafficprovider.xml Singapore to help? Am going back to Sg after stay in Washington DC.

Thanks

William

Hi, #239 What two versions of Jetmouse are you using? and do you apply the top set or bottom set og generated codes
Thank you

Does anybody know how to really disable traffic? I purchased a 765T, which I'm using in the Philippines. Even with traffic "diabled" under tools -> settings, once per hour a message pops up stating that the selected traffic provider cannot be found, and it requests whether alternative providers should be sought. This is very annoying! Is there a secret menu to prevent this? Thanks!

Switch from Premium service to auto, then the message doesn't pop up anymore

Thanks. I'm not sure that I understand. Where is premium versus auto specified? Thanks again!

Make a reset of the frequencies in the developer menu. Then it will first scan all frequencies and should also scan the missing frequencies. When there is no signal, then these frequencies will be skipped during 2nd scan
