Rand McNally Traffic Everywhere -good or bad?

I got free traffic with my Garmin diezl. It is helpfull, only works in some areas but if I had to pay a monthly fee no.

 

Google maps traffic view and its free.

 

just don't get caught driving while googling.

i just activate my phone. and let copilot do it's thing. on my tablet tied to the trim up above. $10 for 12 months.

 

Hi FordFan
Gotta disagree with you about the "twice as mucn junk...."; for us consistent CB radio
Listeners, CB conversations, arguments & lectures has decreased to the point whereby I am happy
To hear 2 or more drivers having conversations on cb. Furthermore, just as many drivers
Can attest that you are lucky if you receive a Bear report or other warnings these days
. Usually when I ask for info, 85% of the time I receive positive
replies.

 

You don't have to buy the traffic option for your gps. All you need is a mobile hotspot to connect the GPS to. Haven't used it, as my WiFi on mine doesn't work. Soon gonna be chunking it out the window. Biggest waste of $500 my 720 has been.

 

If you noticed there is a support thread. Please post here so that I might assist.

For the TND 520/TND 720 - traffic is a yearly subscription. Fuel and weather are free. All three require you to be Hotspotted since these three are brought over via the internet.

Really? Thought younonly had to pay if you wanted an actual receiver for traffic/weather

 

The separate Traffic receiver you have to buy which does not require a HotSpot. But, this receiver tends to "sleep" when no traffic is found or in a searching mode. You have to unplug/plug the traffic receiver to DC power.

The yearly subscription does NOT require a separate traffic receiver.

Weather and fuel do not require a subscription.

Traffic/Fuel/Weather do require a Hotspot.

Thanks,
