| Has anyone with a TomTom had problems with their traffic over the last couple of months? I broke my antenna last November (bad connector) and they replaced it under warranty with one with the USB connector. Ever since then it hasn't worked (it never tunes in the station). Tech support says there's a problem with traffic in Canada, but I haven't seen anyone really complaining about it here. Just wondering. I'm in the Toronto area with a TomTom One 3rd Edition with software 8.010 and map 7.15. |

| Wow, I had forgotten about this thread. After the Montreal problem was solved, it basically shut down. |

Tomtom support don't know what they are talking about... Each time i call them they have a different answer. |

| Does anyone know why it doesn't work? I'm in Ottawa at the moment and it doesn't work here either. I'm assuming it only affects TomTom users, and perhaps only those with certain GPS units?? |

Hi hgate,
I was wondering about how you have your GTM20 set up. I still don't get a green connection in Montreal, but was in Ottawa over the week-end and it worked perfectly, so I know it's not the unit.
My cigarette lighter is in the bottom of my console, so the GTM20 is pointing vertically, but is very low in the car. I've tried putting as much of the cable between it and the GPS in the windshield, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any insight would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Eric |

I would be very glad to help you but i'm still strugling to purchase the antenna. A tomtom reseller (gpscheap) sent me 2 antennas and both didn't worked, they sent me the wrong part number (European antenna type) So now i ordered the USB antenna and the reseller said that it's been discontinued, but tomtom said it is not. And now tomtom is telling me that there is no traffic service in Canada... I'm really confused... Thought i could get some answers here but seems that no one have tomtom GPS with an antenna here that is working...
probably gonna put my tomtom in garbage and buy something else.
If anyone knows a Canadian reseller that sells tomtom traffic antenna please.. please with sugar on top let me know. And if someone know if the tomtom traffic antenna work in Montreal... please... please again with the sugar on top... let me know... Thanks |

I noticed that Garmin finally fixed the display of the expiration date for traffic subscriptions. They now show it on the second line so that the last number of the year is not cut off.

| www.cdw.ca lists the traffic antenna, which I believe is the same one that is not working for me in Toronto. |

p5ku, just an FYI... visited my sister in Ottawa 2 weekends ago and had no problem with signal and reports on my Navigon. I know this doesn't help TomTom users but it does tell you the signal is there.
Cheers,
AJ

Thanks for the info i'll visit those website and hopefully i'll be able to purchase one of those antenna
P5ku: I was told that Tomtom is having an issue with the software on the tomtom one series, that is why your GPS is not receiving data from trafic network, tomtom ppl are working on it, hang on. |

Yes, that's what I was lead to believe by some (but not all) of the TomTom support reps. Trouble is, they've been "working" on it since at least last summer. I'm beginning to wonder if it really is on anyone's todo list to fix. Support was unable to give me any indication of when the update may actually be out.
They've promised to extend my subscription, but I really want the traffic to work again! Oh well, I'll keep after them. |
