Please Help. 8200Nex nav problem


Recommended Posts

Hey All,

Hope someone can help.

 

I recently installed the 8200nex in my new vehicle. Nav works with one slight annoying problem. It constantly shows "red" lanes (congestion) where there is no traffic at all. A couple days ago, I was on interstate in stop and go traffic and it showed my direction green and the other direction lanes as red even though they had no traffic. There is also a parkway type highway I use every day and it constantly shows both directions red even though there is no traffic at all.. I called pioneer and they advised to do a GPS factory reset. I did and no help.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thx

The traffic reciever is only as good as the dummy's putting in the information into the computer.  Typically, there are camera's all over the city and traffic controllers for the city will enter the data into a computer.  The problem is, traffic can clear up pretty fast, and those people are slow to take the traffic off. 

 

I have the same problem on my tomtom GPS.  It'll show traffic where there is none.  Or there'll be traffic and not show up.  

 

The traffic reciever would be a great concept in a perfect world.  But, the pioneer and tomtom can only download whatever information it recieves, it's can't do anything to disseminate the age of the data or anything like that.
