Tomtom Via 1525m-detailed traffic coverage

Mca

Hello, I recently bought a Tomtom Via 1525m from bestbuy. I noticed that on the tomtom website this gps comes with "detailed traffic coverage" but I don't see any option for it on my gps. On the about page of my gps it says I have a Via 1525 without the m although it says it on the box. Is my GPS unit supposed to come with traffic or not?

Thanks

Niall

If the device came with a combo rds-tmc antenna/car charger, then you would get detailed traffic of major roads, not LIVE traffic though.

I believe my device came with a normal USB charger. On the box of the device it says 1525m but on the about page in the GPS it says only 1525.

M means lifetime maps, T (surprise) means traffic.

This would explain a lot, would the best buy listing be wrong then? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tomtom-via-1525m-5-gps-with-lifetime-map-updates-and-lifetime-traffic-updates/6156103.p?skuId=6156103

The BestBuy listing is WRONG since it provided no combo rds-tmc antenna/car charger AND that model is NOT a LIVE model.

I'd consider returning it.............

So I assume that the tomtom listing is also incorrect as it says that the via 1525m provides "Detailed Traffic Coverage" under the traffic information section. https://www.tomtom.com/en_us/drive/car/products/via-1525m/

Seems so. Give support a call and ask what the heck is going on!
