I think about £30 per year - very good if you use motorways and major roads a lot. Not much use for low mileage

Got it on the cdx but never bothered to subsribe as I don't do many miles. Have heard conflicting reports, I think it depends where you live to a degree as to how good it is :y

Subscibe to it (£30 a year) and swear by it............!!

For example last night just before we arrived at M1 J25 it warned us there were 4 miles of stationary traffic with a 30 minute delay going in our direction.....

Gave me enough time to go around the rounabout first to check the situation out, and sure enough there was a massive tailback with traffic not moving at all..........

As a result we avoided joining the back of the queue and took an alternative route, which lost us no time at all........

I know sometimes it may give a false alarm, but on the whole it is very very helpful and regurlarly saves us joining queuing traffic......

Thumbs up from me !!!
