Hi All,
I have a 540 with latest software.

I was watching a demo on a shopping channel of another TT model (may have of been xl).
They showed a screen within the traffic and it give more details of the traffic on the route than i get on my 540.
It seem to have a list of incidents with the details of each one in a row.
(I think it was like the garman).

I wasn't paying too much attention and missed the detail.
So can anyone put my mind at rest and cormfirm what i saw.
Cheers
Kev

Was it in any way similar to this


This one does not have any traffic incidents as you describe - in fact no traffic incidents. But, if there were any, they would be on the box to the right of the screen......listed on the 'Live' tab.

With a route planned and a GPS position fix tap the bottom right corner of the screen and your 540 should display this summary screen - Mike

I thought that screen with the tabs was a NavCore 9 feature? My 740 doesn't produce a screen like that. Similar but doesn't look like that...

I have seen the summary screen but not a list of incidents on route.
I may be lucky and never had any!

I thought you were one of the lucky ones who managed to download it last April 1st before TT pulled it off their servers? Laughing

That was the bit of your description that threw me!
I have the screen that GeePee shows on my machine, but you don't get a list of all the incidents on that screen.

Joking aside, Navcore 9 just shows the same info in a different way. It combines the map browser and traffic map on one page. You don't get any more info.

I thought he may have meant this;-
After route is calculated -- tap the 'LIVE' bar on the r/h side -- tap 'show traffic on route' - now tap one of the forward or back arrows, that then shows each incident details.
