Nuvi 3790T Traffic FM reception.

Does any one else have any problem with the traffic master FM reception in North London?

My new nuvi does not get traffic reports from between the A1 in Islington, around the North Circular and up the M1 towards the M25 intersection.

North of the M25 there is no problem and it works as advertised.
Its a bit ironic that in Milton Keynes I am told of problems on the A1 near home. But at home I cannot get traffic reports!

It reports poor reception, despite having the extra aerial lead across the dashboard and non UV nor heated screen.

Has any one a garmin device that does get traffic information is this area as support are putting the fm reception it down to tall buildings in London!

The product support page has a very large scale traffic master map which shows coverage ion the SE as good. Is there a more detailed map available?

    Ahhhh that explains it .....
    I live in Cumbria and don't even know what all this FM traffic thing does yet.
    Endlessly running into closed roads etc.
    FM traffic just doesn't work. Does anyone know if it will work if i fit an external vehicle aerial.. Or even if there is such a thing ... I considered that expensive nulink thing but of course now that i have bought my 3790, i don't have that option anymore.
