 |
|
Sorry if this is a bit of a numpty question but I've searched and can't find an answer.
I've just changed to a 540 from my trusty 500 for the traffic service - must say I'm impressed so far.
But there are times when I just don't want to know about the traffic so how can I remove the traffic sidebar?
It's driving me mad trying to switch it off
Any help gratefully received |

What cable, the x40 units have a GPRS modem built in for the Live Traffic, there is a flight mode on the device which disables the modem and thus Traffic, but it also turns off the GPS receiver so even that isn't much help - Mike |

Why would you not want to know about the traffic delays on your route?
If you are not on a route all you have is a plain blue bar on the right hand side. |

People get used to the way things were....
I have one TomTom device with Traffic and one without, I'm often not interested in using Traffic and would probably get rid of it off screen if there was a menu item to do so. |
