Default Nav traffic not showing on toll roads

In Texas most of the highways I drive on are toll roads.

Google has no problem telling me the traffic status of toll roads. How do I get nav traffic to display toll road traffic?

I'm in Dallas and have the same problem. You may want to get the nav update from last October, but it's expensive.

Default The "answer" from Sirius about no traffic data on toll roads

I wrote Sirius support about this, asking this simple question:

"Google, Apple and other other online map suppliers can do traffic on toll roads and have been doing it for a long time, why can't you?"

Adrain from Sirius wrote back this in response to my question:

"Traffic flow information is fed to us from many sources, including roadway sensors and GPS-equipped trucks. The availability of these feeds varies from city to city and can sometimes be limited. However, we are constantly working to incorporate alternative technologies that will improve the availability, speed and flow of roadway data.

There can be several minutes of delay. The delay in reporting traffic information is often due to the availability and verification of details, such as the location and severity of an accident. Traffic icons may also remain on the navigation display for a period after the accident has cleared.

If you need further assistance, we recommend you to call our SiriusXM Listener Care hotline at the number below.

We hope you continue to enjoy SiriusXM's commercial-free music and entertainment programming. We are committed to providing you with the best in listener care."
