Navteq traffic on Nuvi 660

I bit the bullet and upgraded the unit. (v4.70)
Everything is ok so far...

The reason I upgraded was based on the traffic reciever update. It claimed to add another traffic provider.
I already have TNN. And that works fine.
But I see no additional info on what I 'thought' would have included navteq traffic.
Of course I'm using the GTM20
