Real time traffic information in Canada??

Hello all,

I have ordered a 335 with Navi. I am wondering whether Canada gets the cool real time traffic information bundled in as well? I am keeping my fingers crossed but was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this.

Thanks!

Im shure its said above, but the area needs the proper ground systems in place generating and relaying the traffic info.

So even in the US you wont get it everywhere

Only in 44 markets. I just got the list of markets from BMW and it will be in my technology roundup article in November.
