I have read from others that it's no help at all, and not worth a subscription feeI've used TomTom Traffic through my Bluetooth Phone, and I've found that it's traffic information isn't the best. My free subscription is about to expire, and I'm wondering is RDS-TMC any better? about the same or worse?
Others have said it's not worth the money. Are you going to spring for it?Just a heads up - my beta period expired (again), and much like I've done for the past year, I called TomTom and asked for the Traffic service on my Plus account to be reset. Instead, I found out that they're actually and finally charging for it. It's about $55 USD a year and you order it via Home.

Cool, intersting to hear that it works in our area...wish I could get it to work with my phone...Already did. It's not perfect, but it's saved me from a few disasters on 495/895/95.
How are you doin' in Conshy?!!?!?! I grew up in Norristown!I had been using TT traffic over my GSM phone for 3 months, when my trial expired.
Just now, I got off the phone with TT and they gave me another 3 months free. I was not able to renew my subscription via the web, or TT home. The software and site were only giving me the options for Europe, and that prompted my call.
I was fully expecting to pay for it, so this was a nice surprise. Others my want to ring TT and see if they can get the same deal as I did.
As for the functionality of the traffic, I find it's fairly accurate in the Philadelphia metro area. For me, it's worth paying even though I have traffic via AM and Sirius.

Traffic is global, therefore a purchase of the Euro version works in the US.I had been using TT traffic over my GSM phone for 3 months, when my trial expired.

Nice! Yeah, I thought the roads stunk when I lived there. Housing prices are outrageous here too!Heh, I like it here! It's a shame that home prices are so expensive though, makes shopping somewhat frustrating.
Norristown eh? I can tell you that the roads are as bad as ever!
