BMW Real Time Traffic Information icons

[uknick]

Can someone point me to a list of the icons used on the RTTI system?

Yesterday there was a triangle with a rain cloud in it. I don't need RTTI to tell me its raining, my rain sensitive wipers tell me that

So what's it trying to tell me, floods up ahead?

The icons are not from RTTI - they are from TMC.

Rain cloud icon is adverse weather conditions, ie something serious enough to have been flagged up as a potential incident, so exceptionally heavy rain or something.

Ye, they should perhaps focus on getting the traffic info to work properly, before they start adding unnecessary info... I've completed retired my in-built sat nav in favour of google maps. I even paid to upgrade to RTTI, and feel like an absolute mug now...

A shame BMW nav can't lift data from Google over RTTI.
Then again they can't charge for that.

They need to start realising their specialisms and focus on those than trying to do everything averagely.

Then again Google will track every BMW IP via onboard sim/phone if you used their traffic info, which I wouldn't like either.

Thanks for this. Still can't find full list of TMC symbols but you have pointed me in the right direction.
