Traffic Version

 

Searched the FAQs and Garmin before heading here. Where do you go to find the traffic version?

I read that you go to GE to update. All I find there is the perpetual update for the FM Traffic for everywhere, but the U.S.

Try This:

I'm not sure of your specific problem or what traffic receiver you have but you can try doing an update via Webupdater rather than GE.

There is also a lot of useful information on traffic receivers in Dorkusnimrod's post:

Traffic Version Clarified

I didn't make my question clear at all in the original post. What I meant to ask was: How do you check to see that you have the latest firmware for your GTM cable?

I read a previous lengthy postings of people updating their GTMs and checking to see that they have the latest update. I did click on the link for the update file and it promptly told me to use GE. GE tells me nothing, specifically that is, that my GTM is current.

Also, there was a solution to the perpetual FM database update that GE was showing each time I ran it. The solution was to connect the GTM while the unit was connected to the PC via USB.

How do you do that?

The GTM is contained within the power cable that you use in your car. I don't see how you would connect the GTM while the unit was connected to the PC via USB. GE has always informed me that I needed an update when I connected it to my PC. It may or may not work for you as you can ascertain by reading some of the posts on the site dealing with GE, but it has always worked for me. (As least, so far.)

I have the GTM connected ... not powered and the GPS connected to the PC via the USB port. As soon as I did this that pesky perpetual FM Database update went away.

Amazing

I learned something today. (So, the day was not a total loss.) Did it actually do an update?

OK ... It was operator error on finding the current firmware version and Prod ID. I was just going to the wrong compass. I found Prod ID sys ver 901 and SYS ver 310 via Developer Info > GTM Status.

So, it looks like all is up to date >>> wink

That operator error thing

Happens to us all at one time on another. I will keep this info in mind in case I need it further down the road.
