Hi Leslie,

Unfortunately there is no traffic light information in the data from TeleAtlas. I doubt Navtech has this information either. I am currently at a conference hosted by TeleAtlas and I will ask that question for you but I don't expect that information will be easily obtainable. No commercial product that I am aware of has traffic light info, but maybe I could pitch it that improved route calculations could be made based on the # of traffic lights you must go through.

We will see, thanks
Charles

I am disappointed because GPS does not have the traffic lights location.

Route guide me and tell me turn 3 or 9 oclock but I can not go across the busy street without the traffic light. I MUST have the lights where I can walk across the streets.

How could I command it?  Could there make a new version?
