I had the occasion to drive to 2 live traffic areas near home this past week. Tampa-St. Pete area worked fine, all traffic hazzards and road loads were on full display. Not so a few days later in the Miami area, where no traffic displays were evident on the screen. I even toggled over to the Tampa area while still in Miami just to see if I picked up their live traffic...I did. So, on the same day, Tampa's traffic data worked but not Miami.

I checked this a.m. on the way to work. Both areas are 120+ miles from where I live. Tampa area continues to display live traffic data but not Miami (nor Houston or Atlanta, where I also toggled just to see).

Anyone live in Miami-Dade or Broward and can provide any local real-time verification on whether their area actually works?

 

My traffic appears about 1 minute after I start the car. I just wish it reflected reality better.

 

Per the XM coverage map, I don't believe Miami has traffic flow, only incident reports. Orlando does not have flow either. It's kind of cool to move over to Tampa to see how the flow works. Here is the link for coverage:

I don't see the blue flow lines for Miami.

 

I got it now! Thanks!
