This must have been asked many times before.

Is the trafficmaster any good ?

The traffic master is Ok, but now sat nav's are the norm with traffic updates so i don't think many people bother anymore. Good if you dont have a sat nav though.

Personal preference i suppose, give it a try, not sure how much it is to renew subscription though.

I use Traffic Master Oracle in all 3 of my cars.  I find it handy, and saves a fortune in calls to Trafficline from mobile

Line the dial up trafficline, its not always entirely accurate, but is another driver aid.

It is 30 quid a year so worth a try.
Thanks for the reply.

I've found it to be both useful and intensely annoying all at the same time. I do many motorway miles and a few times I've been saved from 10 mile of solid traffic after the motorway has been closed. Most times if it says 10 or 15 minutes delayit's not always worth turning off, but when it says "severe delay - avoid" it's a life saver.

It is very annoying though because it keeps interrupting - normally when there's someting good on the radio.

LOL thanks for saving me the time in writing a reply, my sentiments precisley!

Excellent bit of kit, BUT, if you've got a sat nav with traffic reports on it, possibly better, however I use my TM in the Meega and I find it's about 85-96% accurate most of the time...
