|
|
I have just got a DS 50 LMT-D with just the UK & Ireland maps. I realise that there are differences between this and the Full Europe model (eg: No Voice Command, just Voice Control) but I'm puzzled over TrafficTrends.
According to the manual, there should be an item under the Traffic App, but I can't find it there. Is there anyone with this model who can confirm whether or not they have TrafficTrends (and if so, where I can find it - if it's permanently on, no problem).

That's the problem; it ain't !
The manual says it's the last thing in the list but it isn't there on my unit. I wondered if this is all of the UK only machines. _________________ ... Joe

Sure did. Under Settings - Traffic I get the following:
Traffic
Current Provider
Subscriptions
Optimise Route
(Scroll down)
Traffic Alerts
(Then "Related Items")
I would have expected to see "TrafficTrends" after "Traffic Alerts"
I need someone else with the same model to let me know what they've got.

I've been looking around and I can find no match with the latest Drive series and TrafficTrends.
When I search on the Garmin UK site all I get listed is 16 Previous models. They've either dropped it or it's just not being mentioned. _________________ Satnav:

Yet the manual mentions it
Suspect this is just an error in the manual since the specs sheet doesn't show traffic trends. _________________ Where there's a will ... there's a way. |

Now here's an interesting thing. If I go into the developers'screen (hold down top right corner in "Volume"), under "Developer Info", right at the bottom is an item "myTrends Info".
Looks like it is in there, just not switchable. I will have to see what it does when I start doing some regular trips. _________________ ... Joe

Yup, my bad. It's myTrends I'm interested in. For example, once a week during the autum/winter I go down to Southbourne, beyond Chichester. On the way home, my old satnav always wanted to route me up to Petworth, while I prefer to use the A29 via Pulborough. I always leave Southbourne between 10:00 and 10:30, so having the gps know that I'll go A27 / A29 would be a great improvement.
However , although I was referring to the wrong thing, there is a mismatch between the device and the manual. _________________ ... Joe

Sorry (again), I meant there is a discrepancy for TrafficTrends in that it doesn't appear on the device but does in the manual. _________________ ... Joe

Yep, agreed that seems like an error as it doesn't appear from the specs that your model has traffic trends. _________________ Where there's a will ... there's a way. |

From the FAQ "How do I disable myTrends and trafficTrends?" It appears that it doesn't ...
"Note that the dezl 570, 760, 770, dezlCam, Garmin Drive 50, 60 series, Garmin DriveAssist 50, Garmin DriveLuxe 50, Garmin DriveSmart 50, 60, 70 series, nuvi 55, 56, 57, 58, and 60 series do not have the trafficTrends feature." _________________ ... Joe
