BMW NAV system now has real time traffic info
I just read an article about the new nav system that BMW has coming out on some select 2007 7 Series’. The service is premium, which means you have to pay for it. It’s called Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) and offers timely traffic information and for the first time on any production vehicle sold in the United States.
Unlike other automobile manufacturers that charge a recurring monthly fee for RTTI, or require customers to pay for an additional satellite radio service, BMW has included RTTI as part of the cost of the navigation system for select 2007 BMW models.
With the help of Clear Channel’s broadcast network, customers no longer have to search for traffic reports on radio stations to be in-the-know about traffic situations. Up-to-date traffic information is compiled from a variety of sources including FM radio stations, highway-embedded sensors, video monitors on bridges and roadways, and local traffic monitoring centers.
