it does everything it claims but the traffic alerts are tooooo slow.
from Matt, www.newegg.com
that has the fm transmitter in it, without it the gps can't get traffic updates.
from www.amazon.com
the live traffic thing is great, i did not believe first that i can get live traffic without any annual subscription but that's true and it's very useful.

from Victor from Newtown, CT, clickfrom.buy.com
coverage is not that great and the traffic alerts are spotty in my experience.
from www.amazon.com
but no actual description of what the film is or the ticket prices.) if you don't have a smartphone or pda i can see the added utility of the msn service, but for those of us with capable devices i

i have not yet been able to receive any traffic updates with this product, but imagine my surprise to learn that the free lifetime traffic updates include advertising.
from www.amazon.com
there are two features of this device that i particularly like, the wide screen and the traffic alert.
from www.amazon.com
i use it here in the states and it is very useful, especially the traffic updates.
from www.amazon.com
it does have free traffic alert for life and i like that.
from www.amazon.com
i love that the traffic info is free, no spending extra money to sign up for traffic updates (but if you want to you have the option.) the only thing i didn't like is that if you don't want to take

Garmin Nuvi 760 760T Car GPS Receiver

$353.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
if you know someone who loves to fiddle around with pda type systems and needs a good navigator then i recommend this product.
from www.amazon.com
it has also gotten me out of a traffic jam which turned out to be a short-cut to my destination.
from www.amazon.com
- has live traffic and msn ability, though it is an extra pay service as it is the previous generation of traffic receivers.
from www.amazon.com
downsides include very long initial map loading time and the traffic alert doesn't really work, it's best just turn it off.
from www.amazon.com
check your area to see if it will receive the traffic updates.

this may not have traffic updates on it, but if you want to get to, from and everywhere in between then i would recommend this gps.
from www.bestbuy.com
what's great about it:?accurate directions, good price what's not so great:?slow to startup, doesn't include free traffic updates "great unit for the money.
from www.amazon.com
it wanted to take a "short cut" on that route across the dam, which of course i knew to ignore.
from www.amazon.com
i love the way it readjusts if you make a wrong turn or decide to 'chance' a short cut.

from www.amazon.com
they entered the address for an amusement park they had been to before and it directed them on a route that was a short cut they didn't know existed!
from www.amazon.com
this is a great gps without the extras (bluetooth, traffic updates).
from www.amazon.com
hating to carry lots of gadgets, though, i have for several years been using garmin maps on my pda (treo 700w).
from www.amazon.com
(sort of like the revised mapquest allows).
from www.amazon.com
i didn't want the bluetooth capability or traffic alerts, just wanted a reliable unit with text to speech.

from www.amazon.com
having free traffic updates for the life of the product was the key selling point.
from www.amazon.com
the extra features (bluetooth, sd card slot, free traffic updates) are worth it..

$193.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
we took one "short-cut" that confused the device and it advised us to make a u-turn.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't have minute by minute traffic updates, bluetooth capability, and it won't play your mp3s.
from www.amazon.com
it is programmable, portable, dead accurate, (we were driving the same way for years and it showed us a short-cut) and very user friendly.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't always give the short cuts.
from www.amazon.com
there is no ac adapter, but these are the same adapters used for many other electronic devices such as cell phones, pda's, cameras, etc.

from GPSLVR from USA, www.circuitcity.com
the mount is a little short for my windshield, but i had an old one from my axim x30 pda/gps and it works great.
from www.amazon.com
- iq routing: my first thought was "yeah right, bull@#$&" it won't know my local short-cuts, no other gps i have used was able to.
from www.amazon.com
i also purchased the traffic update.
from www.amazon.com
i like the feature of traffic updates because the unit warned me of a traffic jam 7 miles ahead and offered an alternative route to get around the traffic jam.

TomTom ONE 125 GPS Receiver

$148.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
if anything i just wish they could have the live traffic and weather antenna be built into the unit rather than paying an additional $100 for it.
from www.bestbuy.com
gets you from point a to point b with no problems.just remember gps dosn't know short cuts which you may know.
from www.amazon.com
+ gives you the option to automatically avoid delays with traffic updates (though receiver is sold separately and it's not clear if and where one can be connected to this model)
from www.amazon.com
deliberate route change: the unit is extremely fast in recalculating a revised route for you if you miss a turn.
from www.amazon.com
contrary to the product documentation, this product cannot be paired with a bt phone to get traffic updates.
