Map is showing traffic info only with limited areas

Hi,

I noticed Navigation showing traffic info only with limited areas.
Is there a setting to control?

I am in the SF Bay area (East Bay).
But the map display traffic info only around in East Bay.
When I am need to drive to the other side of the Bay in the morning rush hour traffic, I am not able to see the traffic on all bridges.
So, the traffic info is probably covered only about ~30 miles radius?

Looked at some youtube video, and I do see the traffic info is covered in all places in the video.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks
Steven

While I don't have an issue with an entire region not showing traffic I do have it where only certain, and sometimes non-major roads, show traffic. Sometimes they show traffic on neighborhood roads, and not on the streets that are often busy. Makes no sense.

I since installed a CarPlay box and use GoogleMaps instead.

Nav on my F30 is awful. No traffic (DC) and it doesn't recognize anything I say. Never use it.
