I really was looking forward to avoiding all the traffic I deal with on a daily basis, I got the tomtom traffic, upgraded my cell account, and viola, traffic reports.
Unfortunately, they were totally inaccurate. In fact, I've learned to do the opposite of what it says. This morning my commute was a parking lot and it said it was clear sailing. Yesterday it was trying to get me to go another route home, and just on a hunch I decided to risk it, the road was wide open, no delays at all.
So where does TomTom get it's traffic info, how accurate and up to date is it? I live in Boston MA area and the traffic can be mind numbingly brutal at times. Should I just give it up and deal with it or will the accuracy improve?
Anyone else in this area have a TomTom and see what I see or are yours true to traffic reports.
Thanks!
