Thread: Using TMC in Garmin nuvi for free

Bito_MX, sorry to intrude, but I checked in the file trafficprovider.xml (13/14xx fw 5.40) that Mexico does not have Garmin's traffic service, because is not listed with the provider's name, Ltn code, SID.. For example, Navteq can have traffic service operating in several places, because she sells this service to many private and state companies, and one of these customers can be a Garmin. Thus, even Navteq offering free traffic Internet service, does not mean that there is a Traffic Garmin system operating in your city or your country. First of all, inform yourself directly with Garmin to see if there is service in Mexico and in which cities. As you said, there is a service of TTN for Mio devices, there is a possibility, somewhat remote, of using the service on the Garmin devices, since the map used by Mio is produced by Navteq and it has the information contained in map produced for Garmin (img vector) and the protocol of the traffic receiver be the same for both. With these conditions you could enter configuration changes in trafficprovider.xml and deduct parameters FID, PID and insert them along with the SID and RgnID in the key generator. In short, it would be a very difficult and almost certainly result null.
