How to make TMC work?

When I open my device, among the various icons, there is one labeled USB. It leads to two options: Mass storage or MS activesync. Should the choice there play any role?

I can confirm that setting the USB to active sync enables my TMC!It is now looking for stations as we speak.Thanks and well done to all who have contributed to this thread.

Dear ovalball, no progress on my side. Can you answer to a few questions?
1. Any tmc entry on sys.txt?
2. Any particular tmc.dll used?
3. Do you have the online traffic button enabled?
4. Did you try the mixsertester?

I haven't added anything to sys.txt but will check what is in mine
No dll added other than ones already there.
Online traffic disabled
Didn't try mixsertester

I will post my sys.txt as soon as I get back home for you to compare.

OK, but from those already there, is any related to tmc?

My sys.txt is as follows

Thanks, if you would also tell me if there is any tmc.dll would help me a great deal

I have
TMCGPS.dll
ATMC_CE.dll
AVQTMC.dll
GPSTMC.dll

Hope you can get it going!

Judging from the dll names, I would say they are some of the ones YT sent me other day. I used also your tmc related entries or your full sys.txt file, but I have not managed to achieve anything. "Scanning" stuck at "0.0Mhz" and "No TMC" in the traffic summary. Thanks for the input, but I am getting close to give up.

Don't want to state the obvious but when you changed the USB. Settings did you save before exit?

ovalball wrote:Don't want to state the obvious but when you changed the USB. Settings did you save before exit?

Yes, I did. I cannot come to any conclusion other than that my RTA-3000 TMC may be problematic. We have the same GPS, same TMC, running both iGo 2.

Another stupid question but, did you plug the charger in the tmc receiver?

Some people say "there are no stupid questions"...

From my side I can say that no dlls are needed, the [tmc] sys.txt settings you posted (#36) seem to be essential, while the [tmc-http] ones seem to be irrelevant at least for me.

I will try to experiment a bit and post in a few days a (biased?) summary for what is needed to have tmc on a wayteq.

Take a look here. Maybe it will help.

Is it possible to stop the scanning and stay in a particular frequency-station? Living in Italy, I see it is getting almost all of the events from Infoblue at 102.5 MHz, I guess through the related .tmc file in the tmc folder. But sometimes it will scan many cycles until staying there (if it will stay).
