5to1 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Has anyone tried to integrate the TMC codes from another CD into their RNS-E DVD? I don't have a TMC enabled disk, but think it may be possible. Since the encoding on the disk is pretty straight forward. And if you own a TMC enabled disk I believe it may be ok under fair use, provided you dont use both disks at the same time (i.e. in 2 different cars).

craigyb Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Good idea, but I dont think you have a cat in hells chance of it working, but good luck.... Different software/hardware so it aint gonna work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I have to say that the same thought had crossed my mind. The actual TMC tables are non-human-readable data, but I did wonder whether the format would be common.

5to1 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yep . Been really busy so hardly driven it this month (more then 1 passenger or luggauge to big for the trunk) Actually looking at the new Piton or Spyder. Can't decide which one though.....

5to1 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 SW/HW doesn't matter. I'd still be using the original DVD. However, the original is missing the TMC keys/codes for the UK. The format of the disk isn't too complex. So it might be possible to take the codes from a TMC enabled disk, reformat them and add them to the DVD.

craigyb Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Well all I can say then is you would be a very populat chap if you pulled it off. But I can't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5to1 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Can any of you recommend a good (cheap, since I'm not going to be able to use it) TMC enabled CD I should play with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Interesting approach, but surely the software for the disc is compiled without these codes for the UK. Surely adding the keys wont change any references (or lack of) to a UK key. I'll have to take a look at the format of the disk to check this out and check some of the files on it. Issue is, where to get the valid keys for the TMC info! Worth a try, we'll never know unless someone does it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5to1 Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Took a look when i first got it. But then it appeared the 2005 dvd may have the keys anyway. So didn't bother putting anymore time into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I can easily identify the files relating to TMC data on the old TeleAtlas CD, but I can't see anything that looks at all similar on the DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5to1 Posted July 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 kool, bribary No seriously thanks. Been busy with a big project, hence the early morning posts. Hoping to be done the next couple of days and then I can play with my NAV DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlelegs Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hi all, Just bought an A4 Cab with Satnav+. Bought the Teleatlas TMC enabled CD for my old car, plugged it into the SatNav+ and unfortunately nothing happened. Gotta say the TMC on Teleatlas appears to be solely Motorway based, not giving me a route using A roads even when the M25 is stationary. Unusual on the M25 I know. The last info I had from a dealer was an internal one that said they were gonna enable TMC in June, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you go on to say: [ QUOTE ] Gotta say the TMC on Teleatlas appears to be solely Motorway based, not giving me a route using A roads even when the M25 is stationary. [/ QUOTE ] The traffic information only relates to the motorway network, yes, but if the congestion is bad enough to make leaving the motorway a viable option, it will do. I certainly got routed off the M25 on a couple of occasions. The problem with only having traffic information for the motorway network is that there is the potential for dumping you in even heavier traffic away from the motorway.

[/ QUOTE ] The TMC-enabled DVD has since been further delayed! Annoying, because there is a known working beta release in existence (has been for some time).
