I note that TomTom offers (by paid subscription) "LIVE Services" in North America that includes weather services. Those services are described at this link: LIVE SERVICES US & CANADA.
It appears that the Rider 550 I just purchased here in Canada already supports traffic services - at least, when connected to my home Wi-Fi network - the connection via the MyDrive iPhone app when actually using the device in a vehicle is not working well at the moment.
Has anyone subscribed to the "LIVE" weather services? Is there a reduced subscription price for Rider 550 users for weather only, this because the traffic and speed camera services are already included in the purchase price of the device (meaning, those two services appear to come free of charge with the device)?
I will be using my Rider 550 both in North America and in Europe.

The WIFI devices are not compatible to the "Live services"
It will not work on your device.
As a workaround when the Bluetooth for traffic is not stabil (it seem to be a Apple bluetooth issue) you can make a WIFI HOtspot on your Iphone and connect the Rider to the WIFI Hotspot of your iphone.6
