GPS with traffic updates

Liftedpsd · 11-03-2009, 10:52 PM

hmm...with my 255wt i can enter my destination and then click the traffic button and there is a option that says search for traffic on route. It will either show the traffic(yellow is bad, red is STOPPED) and it will tell me where the traffic is and how many miles away. Sometimes it is a 1/2 mile off or so but its pretty accurate, if there is no traffic it will say no traffic on route. I only paid 150 for mine so i figure it was worth the money.

Yup, Garmin has about 50% of the gps market.

These come straight from the factory with Life-Time traffic no need to pay extra subscription fee.

Try craigslist.org maybe you can find someone selling their old unit.

Considering how out of date most traffic reports are, I'd be more interested in if the reports they give you are any good.

i mean maybe 3 out of 4 times they are dead on.,..for free its not bad.

On edit. Today i was driving down i77south and it actually told you what was going on ie, Going from two lanes to one lane which is causing delays.
