Thread: Using TMC in Garmin nuvi for free

The ID written above is for the Thailand Map v11
And once again: Thailand Traffic is free, no subscription needed
Following the part of TrafficProvider.xml v2.60

I have done tests for a year now (live out side Bangkok, so can only test when in Bangkok.
So fare no luck.
Have anyone been able to get a (US) nuvi to work with Thai TMC yet?

Yes, even a free service still need a subscription code to fix the traffic channel.

There is a real possibility of the local traffic system is not compatible with the GTMxx and firmware Americans.

Can see from the units selling there, thought it FM traffic receiver as there has a GTM-35 selling.
