Title: Re: traffic master?
Post by: edwardmickey on 29 January 2007, 18:23:29
I used mine for one year (35 quid for 12 months, 60 for 24).

Found it useful since i lived close to motorway and it warned of congestion prior to getting on it.

If I still used m/w regularly, i'd pay subscription again.  But not much use except major routes.

useless piece of junk imo

Never very accurate, and always interrupts a good bit of music.

It's helped me to avoid several big collision diversions on motorways,  I once thought that it would be good to rubberneck at a nasty diversion on the M62, So I ignored it, 1.5 hrs later I got clear.  P'd off with that, I could see the slip road in my mirror 500yds back!!!!

Go on then lads!  Tell me what I am..

I pay annualy since the car was new (5 years). It's OKeesh.. SatNav with TMC is better. If you don't have TMC, then Traffic Master is still worth having in my opinion in spite of the short comings.

Not being a huge mileage regular motorway user,  I removed my traffic master and used the loom for a bluetooth car kit with the radiomute/call through speakers facility.  Just an idea if you decide not to use TM and hav't got phone kit prewiring!!
