Hi,all Just purchased a 1390T and it was working great but now the traffic icon does not show in the navigation screen. It shows as enabled under the setup screen. Any ideas?
I had a similar problem, and I found it was because I didn't have the power lead plugged into the cradle, as it needs to use the 'antenna' built into the power cable to receive the FM traffic updates.

I'm having the exact same problem (on my 265wt). Has anyone found a fix for this?
Sometimes the traffic icon appears, sometimes it refuses to show up. I am sitting in the car, plugged in, parked in the same spot.
To add to the confusion, it wont show up at all in one of my cars....UNLESS...I manage to get it to show up in one car (after plugging in/out and fiddling) and then walk over to the next car and plug it in there. Then (when I get the icon to show up) it works in both cars. Once I turn off the unit....I have to repeat the process.
Contacted Garmin support....had to pay for shipping (to and from Garmin) a new charger/ant and unit. The items don't work...............
I have a 255wt and my traffic icon on the map is gone too after using the traffic feature for 2 weeks. I exchanged it for another one and no icon but in settings it says navteq lifetime traffic is enabled with a check mark.
Garmin said it must be something with Navteq.:confused:
I have been having trouble with "poor reception" with my new NUVI 3790T on very main roads in London and in the North (A1, M1, M6...so there should be a signal). the traffic master coverage map on the garmin web site is next to useless and is the best they have according to support.
Support have offered to replace my power lead/antenna but is this the problem if other are suffering?
They will not send me anew unit until I return the old "faulty" one.
Is there a faulty batch or a design feature?
Other gps use the Traffic Master system without any problem?
I just got the 255WT from Best Buy, works great however when I tried to use the "free" traffic for the first time it wants an "activation" code??? Where do I get the code from? It tells me to go to www.garmin.com/traffic however when I do there is NOTHING there that leads me to my code???? Help, how do i activate my free feature.

See my post under 1490T traffic. I have the same problem. No icon on the map yet it's enabled. These units need serious attention!
