    Some states will display traffic issues on internet sites in near real time. Arkansas is one of them with the Idrive webpage. Among other information.

    You cannot be locked into one provider which may or may not give you the information you seek.

    But when it’s a feature of a GPS, I would want it to work... and yes other options out there but I find the RM feature fairly useless and that’s when it is working... lol

    After messing with my tablet I figured it out. One of the updates breaks the traffic display.

    I reset my tablet back to defaults and it works... just kinda sucks I cant update any of it as you cannot just do 1 update at a time. I guess I will wait a while and hope it's fixed soon so I can do an update.

    Contact RM customer support via phone or email. This has been a ongoing issue forever, Traffic Every Where will work for a few weeks and than not for days. I have contacted them numerous times over 2 years about this issue and told them if it is not reliable on a day to day use it is useless.
