Traffic - useful feature.

Apologies if anyone has already posted this but I have only just got Traffic and have been experimenting.
In map view, under "Options" selecting "Traffic" brings up a map view of traffic hold ups in your area (using RDS). You can then zoom in and out to look at delays.
Tapping on the delay icon (eg lane closed) then brings up detail of all incidents in order of distance.
Useful feature and not in any documentation I have seen.

Alan, what software version have you got on the device? - Navcore 7 offers a Browse Map function when you tap the traffic side bar within the Traffic menu options, Nav 8 you have to do other selections to get to the same information, at least with Nav 8 on the unit the Traffic information actually works, it didn't when using version 7 if you were in the UK - Mike

An even better feature is the TT asking you if you want to reroute to avoid delays using ASR. Always fun shouting 'NO' at the TT whilst driving!

There is also an option to turn back on the manual tune option, but seeing as you no longer know what frequency you are locked on to it has little value. It is also difficult to know when/if iTIS have turned on the extra transmitters/frequencies since TT changed the behavious of the tuning.
