Is it possible to disable traffic in Rider 550? Whenever the device connects to the internet, it automatically downloads traffic information. I would like to delete this function. It is possible?
Not allowing to connect to the internet is a solution but then we also need to delete the wifi connection which is needed to update the device. Unfortunately, traffic data also downloads automatically when wifi connection is turned on. Moreover, when we have no connection to the internet, an icon appears, informing about it (it also bother).
Let's hope that the next updates will allow to get rid of this onerous service.

Not so...
The Traffic is via TomTom services which is via Bluetooth to the phone and as Ste7ios says, tethering (network share, data share, connection share - as they are also known as). The WiFi is only used for Updates.
Disabling bluetooth would do it, but then you wont get SMS messages or be able to make/receive calls.
RoadRider provides the correct and best solution, i.e.. just turn traffic off in the system menus.
