MSN - determining radio frequency of traffic updates

 
Wed, 08/26/2009 - 11:15pm

When I used Navteq's traffic service, it was easy to determine which radio frequency my GPS was using for updates (ie 101.5, etc).

I now use MSN (much better traffic updates in Toronto). How do I view which radio frequency my GPS is receiving, to give me updates?

You need to get into the status menus. Press the Speed indicator on the Map screen. Press and hold the speedometer until the status screens come up. Click next ~7 times to get to the MSN status screens. One of them shows the frequency and call sign of the station that the MSN receiver is tuned to.

thanks -- is there any way

thanks -- is there any way to manually select which frequency to use for updates (ie if there is two stations being received) and allow me to manually select the stationÉ

Don't think so

Not that I can see. I think it just searches until it finds a data stream and then stops there.
