At the bottom of the I-Drive Screen, on the information line, it says T1 or TI. What does this indicate?

Question: Did you get Traffic Info in Europe?

I used a Nuvi with traffic info while in Milwaukee for a business trip. I decided to catch a White Sox game in Chicago and drive down, all the highways showed as red and it had me driving through these small side streets. It took forever. Luckily the game was rain delayed and I caught the first pictch. I thought Boston traffic was bad. I am looking forward to having the RTTI on the new car.

My observation regarding the RTTI in the BMW, is that the results are variable, depending on market. In driving around Boston, the system is slow to react to traffic events, and slow to remove those events from the screen when they've cleared. Around NYC, the system seems to react more quickly, with more details. I have a Garmin in another vehicle with a traffic subscription, and it's pretty much the same. Sometimes the alternative routes are just as loaded with traffic as the main roads. It seems to be a not-yet-perfect solution to the traffic problem, but it's getting better.
Remember also that, as more and more of us have access to this technology and use it, you are going to find more and more people reacting to their in-car systems, Nuvis, TomToms, etc and they're gonna be heading en masse onto those side/alternative roads.
