Is the traffic data received different (more accurate?) when received via the smartphone link than via the DAB TMC? Or does it just come more often?

Can you not switch to a 2D map that you can zoom in/out and see all traffic in the area?

Tested on way home. The device is a 2460 and it has a GTM 36 antenna.
Interesting bit is that the "accessory socket" plug on the GTM 36 has an LED that doesn't light up when it's plugged in, yet it ... |

I have driven 160 miles up the M1 and the whole time the unit just keeps on saying T ... |
