I have the draw EPE box ticked, but that appears to do nothing on my unit.

Most of the time you won't see it as the EPE will be small. If the signal is bad you'll see it though.

You know that a lot of the signs on motorways maybe wrong in regards to traffic conditions, so this can also be said for the traffic on your device. in the UK Inrix also do the traffic for the highways agency.

They also use crowdsource to determine the traffic flow along with connected devices.

No matter which device you have, there will always be some issues at times regarding traffic...

Just in case you didn't Google it, EPE stands for Estimated Position Error, so the smaller the better.
