I've owned a TomTom ONE 140-S, which also seems to be called the IQ Routes Edition, for a year now.
I'd like to add traffic information. The User and Accessories Guides that came with the device mention a Traffic Receiver (RDS-TMC). A manual that I downloaded has more info. Also, I do see traffic options in the UI.
I thought that I would try to buy a receiver. However, I cannot determine what I need. On the USA TomTom site, I see one Traffic Receiver:
- Accessories - TomTom
But, it does not list my model as compatible. Still, it looks like what I need (combo charger and receiver). If I go to the UK site, I see some other receivers. But, it does look like this might be the correct receiver. My device has a mini-USB connector only.
I've also seen other (less expensive) receivers listed online, but they don't seem to include a built in power adapter. It's odd that the adapter costs $70 and a new XL-350T (which includes the receiver is only $90).
I would like to hear from someone who knows which receiver(s) will work with this device.
I live in the San Francisco area. Anyone have personal experience using the traffic receiver locally?
Thanks!
In addition, I would like to have an opinion as to how well this setup works.
