How Do I Change a Traffic Receiver Unit ID?
Traffic receiver units are components of Global Positioning System units that provide live traffic information. This equipment makes a GPS more useful; while getting directions for the fastest route from point A to point B is very important, a traffic receiver will tell you where there are current traffic delays. While GPS signals are sent from satellites, traffic receiver units get their data from suppliers that collect information from road sensors, radio signals, city transportation cameras and helicopter traffic scanners. Your traffic receiver unit may be built into your GPS or be purchased as a separate unit.
