1490t Traffic files Help

[Snow_blind]

In a I know I can fit this map in here I don't need a sdcard moment I think I may have deleted the necessary files for the traffic to work.

I ran webupdater and went though the steps to delete the gtm fm table along with a hard reset.

Today power cable just stays red and no icon on the screen

1490t w/ 2013.40 map on sdcard

Thanks for the Help!

Go to developer menu and find version of trafficproviders.
If you have 0 or 65535 then your GTM after update don't work anymore.

trafficProviders version="2.70" partNumber="006-D1545-00" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GarminTrafficProvider/v1 TrafficProvider.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GarminTrafficProvider/v1">


I should also say the traffic icon has been missing for a while now (a couple maps ago) but I did see it for a split second the other day.

Bringing me here to try and figure out how I messed it up. I have deleted a lot of things on several occasions lol

I did make some back ups if certain things and recopied them to .system but may not have the right files

I know I'm missing all the poi stuff, I just added the basemap back (5.01) and the webupdater did add traffic related files but still just redlight on cable and I never see it go yellow or green. Maybe it's bad. Had the unit a few years now...

You may have unknowingly upgraded the firmware of your receiver cable. If your cable is the GTM 25 or 35 the new firmware may have blocked the tuning. Check out in this thread if this is the case and the possible solution for it (post 593 and others)

Developer menu you can see in post #595 on link that Angelo provide, in your post you write data from trafficprovider.xml

lol I didn't think I was posting you the info your were asking me about but I just didn't find anything in the developer menu but thats because my charts were blank nearly identical to post #595 although I'm using a 1490 so mine were a little different but still basically blank except for my bottom of chart one say version 2.70 just like the chart pictured.

So after trying the solution above I'm getting the traffic receiver status to populate and getting a "connect" that goes to "connection error" and keeps repeating as if it's trying to sync up ???

One more idea ?? I think I'm getting close to getting this unit back on track

I do notice the gtm-25 cord light just stays red, I haven't seen it change color...yet


Edit: Appears to be working now may have just took a little longer than expected after the firmware rollback of above, could also have been a bad connection of the cable at the unit....



Thanks!
