Hi all

I am looking at buying a GPS and like the idea of having live traffic updates.

How accurate and upto date are they and any suggestions for the best and most accurate model GPS that has this option?

I can't find the cost of the live update service any where,does anybody have a ref for the cost of the live update services?

Cheers Paul.

I have the Navman MY 75T (mainly for the big screen) and it flashes up with traffic or roadwork issues.  You can opt to route around them, and I believe they are transmitted on the FM frequency.  I'm not paying any monthly fee for this.

The alerts only work when you have a trip put in, ie if you are just driving around, it won't alert you to traffic issues in the nearby area.
