From May 05, 2020, PTV will no longer provide updates or support for the listed traffic messages:
- Traffic messages from HERE based on the data format ML3 / WFS used by PTV Mapserver and PTV xServer
- Traffic Info Loader (TIL) – all versions
- Traffic message channel (TMC) as a component providing the location codes from HERE
The reason for this discontinuation notice is that the data providers stopped any data support. Therefore, PTV cannot keep the services up and running.

In order to assist customers, PTV Group has already provided the following upgrade paths, where clients can login to update to the latest versions of:
- PTV xServer and add-ons (customer area: login required)
- Live traffic from TomTom with Dynamic Feature “PTV_TrafficIncidents”
- Recommended: Switch from PTV Mapserver to PTV xServer
In accordance with PTV Group’s product discontinuation policy, we are providing you notice of this phase-out so that you have adequate time to replace the solutions via updating to the latest software versions available.
PTV Group is committed to providing the highest level of quality and service to you. Based on your requests, we constantly enhance our software and keep integrating new and improved functions and contents. Therefore, we strongly advise you to partake in our maintenance contract, as it integrates extended functions and ensures their systems always remain up-to-date – a basic prerequisite for their day-to-day operations.
To meet the growing requirements, PTV Group, like other software providers, needs to limit the number of software versions available. This way, we can always make sure that our resources stay focused on further improving PTV xServer, PTV xServer add-ons and PTV Maps as the current software solutions create the perfect conditions for your business applications to excel.
