the 2011 map doesn't have tmc... my 2006 has not had an update & is now running a 9/10 map with tmc & post code entry...
i got part post code entry why have they droped tmc ? works a treat
Hey Dan - I have the original 2005 map disc that came with the car, plus a spurious 2011 one off Ebay. With the 2011 disc, I lost TMC (because it's now Trafficmaster, as Dave says, and the 2011 disc has the Trafficmaster logo not a TMC one on it) but I ALSO lost postcode input !. I assumed it was because the map was so out of step with the actual firmware running in the CD70, so I flashed that to the latest official Vauxhall release (10/2007), but still no luck - no Trafficmaster alerts, no postcode entry. Which does beg the question - if the Maps now support Trafficmaster now TMC, then why (with the latest HU firmware) do I not have Trafficmaster alerts. I can't quite get my head round that, unless of course there was never any intention to use Trafficmaster in the CD70. Also - losing the postcode entry struck me as very weird, when I 'upgraded' the map disc to 2011... but I have come to the conclusion that this must be something to do with my gash Ebay map disc. I popped the 2005 maps back in yesterday, and got everything back (TMC, and Postcodes), even WITH the new software running in the HU.
Now I'm confused. All the map discs I have and have used (06/07, 08/09, 09/10 and 10/11) receive TMC traffic messages, with the original language disc. Or put another way, the only difference between the map discs is how up-to-date the street mapping is.
ive got the latest 2010/2011 nav cd and thats got the tmc so all i can put it down to is that if ya cd70 wont show
the tmc then ya head unit software needs updating.

Hmm.. I wonder if there was a TMC and a Trafficmaster version of each disc, perhaps Trafficmaster was for overseas ? My 2005/6 disc definitely has a TMC logo, and TMC works. My 2010/2011 disc definitely has a Trafficmaster logo, and TMC does not work. And - I have the very latest software in the head unit (10/2007) as supplied by Vauxhall and installed by me a few weeks ago. When I have time, I will have a look at the content of the two map discs. Like I said, the 2011 one is an Ebay special... maybe the guy who burned it (which I cannot condone of course - shame on him) missed out some TMC-related files.......
My 2007 or 2008 disc had TMC, but my 2009 disc has Traffic Master.
The TMC button still works, but I don't get half the traffic information that I used to with the older disc that used the radio signal for traffic bulletins instead of traffic master.
The info isn't so reliable either.
IMHO, the TMC broadcast was a far better system.
