is there an external FM TMC signal receiver that can be plug into N95 to get the TMC traffic signal ? if yes, which GPS software can be used for that.
FM TMC signal
Devices with FM radio don't need any external receivers.
But I don't think any software supports it now.
What you can do is you can use Route66, it works with internal GPS receiver and plans your route according to very uptodate traffic data downloaded via gprs/3g.

do you mean Route66 can get the TMC signal if it is available and which version of Route66 is it ?

As I said it doesn't use RDS signal but your data conection.
The version number is 7.3.545
AFAIK this is the only one working with internal GPS on N95

So that mean you have to stick with what the GPS software offer as a TMC in your area even if there is already FM TMC signal in that area. the problem I have is that there is an FM TMC signal in my area but I can't get benefit of that because I have to use what ever the software like (TomTom , Route66 ....etc.) can offer as a coverage!
Thats about it. But its not just route66 that works with the internal reciever. Practically everything bar tomtom does.
Navicore
Garmin XT
navigon
copilot
Viewranger
Wayfinder
And more.

All those have traffic information ?
No, sorry. That was in reply to rottie's 'AFAIK this is the only one working with internal GPS on N95' bit.
Navicore does though, I think.
Garmin as well.

yes but the problem with those companies that you have to stick with what coverage they have and you can't get a local FM TMC signal 😞

What I meant was ONLY VERSION OF ROUTE 66 working with internal GPS receiver, not ONLY SOFTWARE.
Why this TMC is so important for you?? I live and use it everyday in central London and could easily live without it. Can't be worse than that.

I live in Canada and none of them covers Canada, but there is an FM TMC signal that people use it with their stand-alone GPS device so I was thinking if I buy an external FM TMC receiver I can use it with my N95 .... thanks anyway for the help.
But do you actually know what the TMC does?? It's just traffic messages, and sat navs use it to recalculate the route according to the conditons.
If there is no map for your area TMC won't help you with anything.
BTW There is a full free Canada map to download using Nokia Map Loader. Why can't you use that one?

Yes I know what TMC messages looks like and Yes there is a map for my area using all these GPS software (Including Nokia one) , but none of them covers a TMC for Canada.
