OS disc v30 contains Mk4 software 4-1/91
OS disc v29 also contains Mk4 software 4-1/91

The Mk4 software version on the v30 OS disc is not changed from OS v29
OS v30 changed the E65/E66 software for the NAVI03.

Your problem may be related to something else, or you may have been using an older version than 4-1/91

Thanks Kiwi for your response, please see attached pics.....
I will try tomorrow to load an earlier version like 27 or 28 then go back up to 29 and see if this fixes the problem. I will report back my results.
Regards,
DT

went back to version 21 then back up to v29. Travel Information is still "grayed out" however on the bright side my info and select buttons work now. I also coded the Navi using Progman 28.2. Still cannot select Travel information. Has anyone had this happen? Kiwi, any ideas what would cause it?
thanks,

Travel Information is the European RDS-TMC system.
RDS=Radio Data System
TMC=Traffic Message Channel

Two key factors are required for TMC to work:

1. The map disc must have the TMC location database on the disc. If this exists, you can select travel info.
Once selected, TMC lights up red on the screen, as TMC is active, and looking for an RDS-TMC signal.

2. You must have an FM-RDS station in your area broadcasting the TMC data, and you must be tuned to it. One received, TMC lights up green on the screen.

I believe you are in the USA: I don't think anyone radio station broadcast RDS TMC data in the USA, and if they did, I don't think any maps exist for the Mk4 nav with a TMC database on them.

I think that i will have to dissagree with you there, in the Information menu Travel Information is POI after going into that menu, you can chouse on location or on destination...... an then for instance hotells speedcams and so on (dont know exactly i run my on Swedish, tnx to you and navtweek)

As for the issue that it is grayed out...
Insert your nav cd/dvd into the pc and check if you have folder called TPD, if not then you have old version disk that dont carry POI.
Before software carried POI and not disks, that changed allong the way, so that could be your problem. One more thing can generate randome issues, and that is bad cd-r try a brand cd-r that might help

Oops, I read Traffic Info, not Travel Info, and mixed things up .-)

You are absolutely right: the Travel Information menu appears when the /TPD directory structure and associated files exist

E5M1R,
Thank you. you hit the nail on the head. it was a faulty MAP DVD, used a different DVD and all is well now. Sometimes you look over the simplest things. Thanks for the reminder.
best regards,
