Traffic on GPS while driving

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I previously had a 2011 335 and on the navi screen without entering a destination i would be able to see traffic on current road i was driving on. I haven't been able to see this on the new x5. I have traffic enabled but don't see traffic conditions....i am missing something??

I had same issue... Best solution I found was on main map screen, go over to the options that run down the left side of the screen. One of them is a Traffic option, and it will spawn more choices... One is "list" the other is "summary" maybe? I don't remember. Anyway the summary one will superimpose traffic on the map. I used on of the manual pre-set keys (1-8) and mapped this function for easy access...

The best way to get traffic flow on the standard map is to go to:
Map View, then Additional Information, then Traffic Flow. This will put the colored traffic flow over the normal map. Hope this helps.

instead of the triangles to represent traffic, the roads are outlined in colors representing light to heavy traffic (green to red...)
