Traffic Subscription with RV760 LMT

We used ours for the first time this month coming home from TX - Ct. My 760 would give me warning of traffic delays and road work when heading toward major cities. Only problems I had was in programing my routes.

Traffic is not always broadcast continuously in all areas. Mine will receive traffic updates even in the sticks here in Northern Michigan, but only if there's an accident or something causing major backup.

Mine is an older Nuvi model, and the traffic thing is more of a gimmick, when there's heavy traffic, I just get a red traffic icon.

There is no subscription for the traffic info. It just means that the GPSr has a receiver in it that picks u traffic info transmitted usually in large metro areas

Mine did traffic delays yesterday on the I-15 north of Mesquite NV - and it was a doozy! 2 miles of heavy freeway traffic funneled into one lane. I have no subscription that I'm aware of.

I've had a lot of routing problems with my unit. Just yesterday I was northbound through Las Vegas on the 215, and the stupid thing wanted me to Exit to Eastern Ave and drive surface streets to pick up the I-15. That's weird - and no, it's not set for shortest distance.

Instead of just "fastest time" and "shortest distance" there should be a "not insane" setting.

Okay, thanks for the replies.

Ours as well only does traffic in major cities and since we don't live near any or travel through them it never works.

Probably no provider. Mine only gives traffic info in the big cities.
