    Real-time Traffic Coming in PCM Nav Update in April

    in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)

    Posted

    Trying out the system in my garage (in San Francisco), I see no evidence that Real-time traffic is supported, in these parts anyway.

    I took a look at the roads showing down around Big Sur. Coastal Route 1 still will not show up at any scale larger than 1.5 miles and many other interesting roads don't show at any scale larger than 0.3 miles. I had a small hope, now gone, that the upgrade might fix this glaring problem. It sure makes it hard to use the Navi system on many great roads in the west where one wants to see what is going on (intersections, etc.) further than 5 miles down the road!

    Does anyone have any idea who one might contact at Porsche of USA who might be interested in hearing about this issue? It is the only deficiency that really bugs me about this otherwise phenomenal car.

    I should add that a map included with the new disk indicates that it now includes Mexico and Brazil, should anyone be planning to drive a Porsche down through Central America and Columbia into the Amazon regions...

    I don't know too much about this subject but I thought the maps were provided by Navteq. Wouldn't they be responsible for the overall resolution difference?
