¹Lifetime traffic extends for the useful life of your Garmin traffic receiver (as long as you own a compatible Garmin GPS) or (READ THIS---)----> as long as Garmin receives traffic data from its traffic supplier, whichever is shorter. (AND THIS------>Traffic content not available for all areas. See http://www.navteq.com/rdstraffic for traffic coverage areas and www.garmin.com/traffic/fm/navteq.html for program License Agreement containing complete terms and conditions.

Sounds like either the system is not getting the updates or else the updates are not being provided, but either way something is not happening someplace. Or maybe you have the traffic system shut off because it was annoying you one day.

Hope this helps

Faint beeping sound
Someone lose a cellphone? Could be a phone function for call message on the built-in sync. There is a speed alert function for going over a predetermined speed setting. There are traffic alert tones from the Mytouch Navigation. They even have an Alarm clock and interval Alert (every selected minutes). Could be a mileage count to tone after each passing mile.

Hello, I have a Garmin nuvi 3790T GPS and also the cable with built-in FM receiver. How can I receive traffic alerts? Do I need to purchase anything? Technically I am a novice, hope you can help. Thank...
To make it work, buy a subscription on a traffic alert service (RDS - TMC) available in your region/country at garmin.com. For crossborder service buy the traffic service there too.

Its possible to buy a lifetime variant - meaning it will stay active for your receiver.

WHEN IN A TRAFFIC JAM, HOW DO I FIND AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE?
With the route showing on your satnav, press MENU and then DETOUR. This should take you around the traffic jam. Alternatively you could just turn off, drive a distance from the traffic jam and let the satnav update your route to get you back on track. I hope this solves your problem.

Tomtom still charges but traffic receiver stopped working
I'm using the TomTom Go 730T - I think this is the latest and the last TT with Traffic because TT stopped supplying this option. I'm having the same problem from time to time but a reset helps. Just press the Reset button and after restarting the traffic option is back. Janos

How do i activate traffic alert
Question? Is traffic alert available where you live? If not then you will not be able to get it. Traffic alert is available in certain places only, and usually cities with a population of couple million or more. Hope this helps.

I bought my garmin 660 nuvi at techs for less- do i have to subscribe to traffic alert or does it come with the 660 i purchased
You have to have the traffic receiver / car charger in order for it to work (GTM-20) It looks like this:

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=403

It has a green LED for power and and an alternating yellow/red LED for traffic data detection.

Yes, you have to have a subscription to the service.

Alert msg from syamantec endpoint protection MS RPCSS attack
So lets just clarify what this is.

The Intrusion Prevention Engine in SEP is detecting network based attack traffic for a Microsoft vulnerabity - this will correspond to a security patch from Microsoft.

Whether you want to blindly ignore it is your choice, but you should at least confirm it is EITHER a false positive OR that your machines are patched against the vulnerability BEFORE you simply allow the traffic and potentially put yourself at risk.

Think about, do you know what machine the attack is coming from - is it on your network (it looks like it is), is it running SEP, is patched, etc.
