Magellan TrafficKit is Useless in Phoenix:
Making sure that Phoenix was one of the covered areas, I purchased this to help guide us through Phoenix traffic (which is about as bad as any other major city) in the event of a problem on our route. After purchasing the year subscription, I installed it in my vehicle, powered it up, saw the icon in the bottom right corner (which is not there without the traffic kit attached) and tested it out. I also checked the signal strength which read a 10/10 and saw that NAVTEQ was providing the traffic information.... more info
don't bother with this:
Bought this for my Magellan GPS. I hate it. I still use it while I wait to buy a new one. With out this traffic kit the GPS unit send you on some stupid routes, some times they are just crazy. This kit just adds to it confusion in calculating the routes. I use it just to see the traffic details, they are not even accurate. If you use it to automatically route based on traffic details you will be taking stupid routes, maybe even go around in circles. There are better options. I would get lost less... more info
No Traffic Alerts in Atlanta!:
Although the Traffic Service is supposed to work in Atlanta, I have yet to see a single traffic alert. I would have given this one star except that it is a required optional accessory if you want to use an external antenna with the Maestro and for that it works as advertised.
