Hi subsy,
As I have the '609 Navigation Professional System', it all comes ready to go. I think I activated RTTI from one of the settings menus. And to be fair it works reasonably well.
The reason I still use Waze is that traffic jam alerts are so much easier to see, when glancing quickly at the screen, compared to the information/colour overload as shown on the iDrive navigation.
On the Waze screen, traffic problems, flow direction, severity are really clear. Instantly. Only major roads are shown, unless you zoom in. Roads outside your immediate route are lightly shaded and less emphasised.
On The iDrive, the map (to me – especially with a slight red/green colour blindness) is in contrast, a mess.
According to the F30 manual, the traffic jam legend is:
Red = congestion.
Orange = stop-and-go traffic.
Yellow = heavy traffic.
Green = clear roads.
Grey = general traffic bulletins, e.g., construction site.
Also, Waze has speed camera alerts, which works intermittently.
