At the risk of teaching you all to suck eggs, I've finally managed to get my sat nav and TMC working in a way that I trust. After many miles of blindly accepting the 'oh so softly spoken' "There is slow traffic ahead" without knowing what specific traffic jam she was talking about, I now have my screen split into 2 maps, with a small scale one on the left and a large scale one on the right. This way, I can see the little yellow and red arrows showing the traffic issues long before Mrs SatNav starts to whisper sweet avoidance routes in my ear!

I've always been a bit sceptical of TMC, but now at least I can make a judgement about the information it provides.

That's a handy trick - thanks.

But I bet it will still not accept Latitude and Logtitude co-ordinates which are not on the public highway ie Forestry Commission or Army land.

Sice posting this I have been informed by a guy who works for LRE that this is so you are not tempted to take the FR2 into extreme situations where it may note cope but it appeaers that RR's and Disco's have a different CD rom with much more info on it.
Does anybody have RR or Disco and a FR2 to see if the CD roms are interchangable?
