Re: Anyone using iGO 8
"In the United States of America, XM Satellite Radio started transmitting TMC messages all over the US already whereas Sirius Satellite Radio announced it. Also Clear Channel and Tele Atlas have a TMC service, using FM-RDS in 77 US cities and three Canadian metropolitan areas."

Id assume thats because we have no way on our phones to receive TMC transmissions anyways- its transmitted over radio waves (FM). Its one thing on an in-car system built into the radio, but our phones dont have the receiver to get TMC signals as i understand it.
