Just loaded the 07 firmware and 09/10 maps into my navi and don't seem to be getting any TMC messages. Was previously running with the 05 software and maps and had no problems. Any suggestions??

TMC messages on older discs used the radio stations (eg, Classic FM) for traffic reports.
The newer map disc uses Traffic Master (I think).
In short if using a newer disc the TMC system isn't so good.
Thanks for that. I thought it was only the 10/11 maps disc that didn,t have the TMC codes, so I avoided buying that one. I cant find any reference to traffic master on the system. In the test mode TMC shows up as being switched on but again it isnt highlighted on the screen and I'm not getting messages. Doesnt look like I have TM or TMC?? I take it if I re-insert the old maps disc the TMC messages will show up again?
Pretty sure I am using 2009/2010 maps on latest firmware and tmc works fine for me.
Loads of info on tmc and what works what doesn't and the reasons why. Just do a search in the satnav/ice section mate
Cheers, will give it a try. Was starting to think I'd wasted 50 quid on the updated map disc!
i bought 2010/2011 maps a couple of months ago an i read the tmc didnt work well if at all for people. first thing i checked was tmc wen i put new cd an there was 79 messages so it has worked perfectly normal for me
Checked the 09/10 maps disc and it has Traffic Master printed on it. The 05 maps disc has TMC printed on it. When I put the 05 disc back in I get all the TMC messages, but nothing with the 09/10 disc, not even Traffic Master messages. Does your 10/11 disc have Traffic Master or TMC printed on it? Starting to think there might be different versions of upgrade discs!!
am not sure mate , i'll go have a looksie now
it says trafficmaster on the disc but wen i press info button it still says tmc. if ya go to tmc stations there is 2 options. 1. says automatic 2. says tm/tmc with a play symbol infront ,mines set to automatic an works fine. am just wonderin if yours is set on the second option?
I think it defaults to automatic and stays there until it receives a TMC signal. At that point you can change between the radio stations transmitting the TMC signal.
