dont know why pics so small  

Hi, my subscription to live traffic expired last November and its still working, although its now got into the habit of re-routing me without informing me first. Doesn't happen all the time though. Also I I have now red and green lines by the side of the roads on the satnav, these have just started appearing and I am not sure what they mean as there seem to be nothing different with the roads when I travel along them.

I presume that the Red and Green lines relate to traffic,   Red heavy   Green light, thats just a thought as I have my Traffic warnings turned off

no traffic reports for me today around j2 of the m5 

also all my previous places on the nav have just gone,it couldn't find where i wanted to go and google had found it, it was directing us and how long to get there , all this by the time i was trying to input an address on r-link 

The lines are red and orange, depending on how heavy the traffic is. There is an option in the RLink, which corresponds to how do you want re-routing to work? Should it reroute automatically, or should it suggest you a reroute, asking you for confirmation. There should be also some warning (triangular) signs on the screen, telling you what's happening - is it slow traffic, closed road, roadworks and many more... If you touch the icon for the traffic (it should not be grayed out), it shows you all the events, starting from the nearest one. This particular icon also says how much delay you would have according the events on your route in minutes, and how far ahead they are.

I have noticed recently i have not been receiving traffic updates but today i set the sat nav & traffic was showing. Now normally i listen to music on the USB but today I had DAB radio on
Does this mean that to get traffic updates the Rlink needs a live radio reception?
