Any way to disable real time traffic?
When I drive through LA, I am constantly in highway traffic. So far, I have found the following two options:
1. Have the navi continuously re-route me while I ignore it and stay on the freeway. 2. Disable the auto re-route and have the re-route screens (and voice!) repeatedly pop-up and suggest re-routes. Is there a third or fourth option I am missing? Short of turning off the navigation directions, is there any way to completely disable RTTI it while I drive through areas I am familiar with? |

maybe I'm retarded, but is there a way to have the real time traffic actually display ON the route / roads? For example, a light / no traffic road would be highlighted in green, and a stop-and-go traffic road would be highlighted in red.

Agreed, color coding parts of the road would have been more clear. |

Are the triangles a function of iDrive or the Navteq DVD? Just wondering as maybe Navteq could update the disc or BMW could include color coding in a Progman update. Wishful thinking... I wont hold my breath.

Unfortunately it's all BMW or whoever is designing the Navi software for them. (they need to take a good hard look at improving functionality...)
Navteq provides the static road data in the DVD, real time traffic info comes in via RF (radio) from Clear Channel. |
