Just got week 9 pro nav and noticed traffic information section with re-route facility.
Does anyone know if this is standard and forms part of the package or do you have to pay an annual subscription after 6/12 months.
When I got my first e60 back in Sept 03 the traffic system called " traffic master" was ?1,300.
Anyone know?
Thanks
Merv

My Ride: 535d Sport in Carbon Black / high gloss shadow line and beige leather / dark poplar with professional nav, bluetooth phone prep, CD changer, bi-xenon adaptive headlamps, servotronic steering, folding mirrors, heated comfort seats, TV, extended voice control and Logic 7 hifi.
It's part of TMC, so, effectively, it's free (you're paying for it in royalty fee on the sat nav disc)

TMC is free in France. BMW has signed an agreement with v-traffic (TMC data provider company in France).
It's available everywhere in Europe, not in the US as far as I know.

Sould be the same as the bus nav you had on your old car - so long as you have a TMC enabled DVD (2004-1 onwards) and the right version of SW then this should be free.

Didn't have it with my last bus nav, disc was 02/03.
One thing I did notice the womens voice was more friendly on bus nav. The one I have now seems abrupt and couldn't careless whether I turn right or not.
The traffic jam warning bit is just superb and very accurate. When it informed of a jam for the first time I just had to keep going to see if it was true, of course it was!
