tomtom 6250 pro traffic not working

francesmrk

my tomtom 6250 pro traffic has stopped working, the message just says traffic services not available. It's linked up all correctly and was working when I bought it, only a month ago. I've tried doing a rest, but still the same.

Hi @francesmrk

@VikramK or @lampard should pick this up on Monday and can check your units settings in the TT servers and adjust if required. Look back then to see what they have to say

When you say you have done a Reset is that using the Reset Device option in Settings/System?

Hi @francesmrk
Welcome to the community!
I have asked my team to fix the services on your account. Please do a soft reset and check again.



Regards, Vikram

Thanks, I've done the soft reset but it's still showing a cross through the traffic and says"service unavailable"

Hi @francesmrk
Could you take the device outside and away from the WiFi range?
Make sure it finds a GPS signal.

Now go to - main menu > settings > system > about > GPRS status

What does the GPRS status show?

Thanks, Vikram

francesmrk

Hi, it says gprs connected and traffic activated but it still has a cross through the traffic and says service unavailable

francesmrk

Hi, are there any other steps to follow to try and activate the traffic again, or should I return the sat nav for an exchange? I've only had it a couple of weeks. many thanks!

Morning Vikram, I've followed the steps you advised and it's all working now, traffic up and running again. Many thanks!

Why does my tomtom not show traffic and radar if abinimant was bought a week ago

Maybe you connected it to a device not in use or not communicating data anymore like Bluetooth or WiFi.
Happens to me when I try to connect it with onboard coach WiFi, it connects perfectly but doesn't receives any data from it (maybe additional login or stuff is preventing data transfer). Click connection and click "Forget" it. I know it's an old post but may help someone with same issue.
