Traffic Cameras

Hi, I have a C220 with the command sat nav, as part of the nav system there is an option to view drive information for the planned journey. On a trip this morning I was surprised to see the screen shown below appear. Is this a new feature?

Does anyone know if this works with audio 20 or is it just for command?

Hi, I am based in the northwest of the U.K., Blackpool to be precise, I just support a northeast team The pictures I posted appeared on the screen of my command system last week and changed to different cameras as I was driving. I am not sure where the source came from but the weather conditions and traffic flow seemed to match the areas I was in.

This is a cool feature to show off, but I wonder how useful it is.

Isn't it better for the NAV system simply to route you around traffic instead of making the driver poke around looking at traffic cameras?

I find the apps super slow and pretty much useless by the time things load

? So this post is about traffic flow... Not speed/safety cameras?

You may say it here, but it is hearsay.

Mine loads quickly and brings up the data very fast. I think it uses the data connection on your phone and I've got 4G most of the time.

The nav system does route round traffic if set in the correct mode. The traffic camera pictures are just a bit of additional information, it display graphics showing you the weather at your destination as well.

Drivers in the USA are stuck with MB 3G in car system that actually performs more like an old dialup connection. We can't use our phones 4G connection for data.

I'll use it to view cameras at Canadian border crossings to avoid the crowds.

That's a shame, seems crazy not allowing the phones data connection to work with the command, the only thing the 3G in car sim does is get the traffic data for the sat nav as far as I know.
