Is FM Traffic service available only during weekeday?
I checked it on my GPS today, I got the message "No Traffic data available" though FM signal light was green.
Just a guess...
I'd guess it's because there weren't any significant traffic issues to address at the time.

I bought my Nuvi 760 last
I bought my Nuvi 760 last Saturday and I was unable to view traffic updates. But on Monday morning it started working fine. I upgraded firmware and thought might be firmware update to 4.2 fixed the problem but based on todays experience, it looks like there is no traffic data on weekends in Canada atleast. I don't know about US part.

That maybe is true
Depends on where you live, I'm in the Greater Vancouver, B.C. area and I know that we have FM traffic service available M-F from 5am - 7pm. No service on the weekends. Are you in Canada? If you are I believe the limited service is the norm.
