From Garmin, called TrafficProvider.xml
Singapore is free traffic, no subscription values available

I found TrafficProvider.xml in my loaner 1250.
Unfortunately, I cannot find TrafficProvider.xml in my nuvi 370.
The only xml file I can see is Device.xml

Anyway to get the values into a nuvi 370 or am I SOL?

I think you just go into Traffic Subscriptions on your unit and add the subscription with the key generated from the KeyGen based upon your unit id, FID, Pid, RgnID & VenID for the relevant traffic provider.
