Seems a little on the lame side to me for such an expensive option - then again maybe London is considered a fairly insignificant city so why bother?

Think I will contact Mini UK re this for an explanation.

Cheers, Geoff.

No such creature as traffic satellites. The NAV gets its traffic information via TMC from your radio. Do you have this option (would have a big green TMC on your nav screen)? Also, if it is not reported to the local radio/traffic station then it is not being broadcast. You could get it this way but it would not be the best method as it would have to be managed by a human.

The reason that I say it is a map disk issue is because if it is a standard thing (permanent closure or toll at specific times, the nav would pull that information from the disk and route as needed. Kinda of like pedestrian zones and such. You could report this to Navteq for future releases.
