TT traffic is free for a trial period. I got it working on my old phone using GPRS with TT 6 for the said period, after that I had to register to continue, but as it was TMC traffic it wasn't that good. On my TT IQ XL live I got three months HD traffic free and now I have subscribed for an other year. It's the best traffic out there, kicks Garmin, Copilot 7 and the old TT traffic into a cocked hat.

Traffic is always free if you are using the TT traffic receiver.

I think some files may be missing from the map if it's not working properly.

I missread that he didn't have a TT receiver , I just thought he couldn't get Traffic. The better traffic HD and the GPRS version has to be paid for, thats why it's free for a limited time. The TMC version is rubbish anyway thats why it's free.

TT HD traffic didn't work in Dublin Yesterday. Also even with the latest full European map 840.2562 lots of one way streets and no right turns were totally wrong. If I lived in Dublin I would correct them with mapshare.

PS The HD traffic Tuesday night was fantastic with the heavy snow around Chester, it saved me alot of time getting to Holyhead.
