No I don't think it's something that you have done, I've had it say heavy traffic ahead when it's only been me on the motorway on a Sunday at 04:30 but you can turn that bit off which I do. |

it lies to me too. I think its over keen, as its usualy saying there is heavy traffic somewhere on your route, but by the time you get there its all cleared up! 2012 MY TD4 SX Manual in very rare Buckingham Blue! |

Traffic warnings rely on TMC which is a broadcast picked up by all SatNavs with a TMC function. The problem with TMC is that it relies on the correct information being fed into the system and it then being updated regularly. It also works in France and last weekend warned me of slow traffic ahead - which turned out to be the Peage South of Calais, so it does work sometimes. |

I also beleive that when the TMC operators go home on Friday they leave the last messages live for the weekend - is this why we get congestion messages for Sunday mornings - they haven't been cleared from Friday rush hour !!!! Tony |
