Traffic software - UK

[Guest declank]

Does anyone have an opinion of the traffic service:

Looks like the trafficmaster.net service for the mobile.

I was thinking of getting a subscription, but wanted to know if its worked well for anyone?

Also, is there another service I should also consider ?

Tom Tom is well rated but the product is not on sale yet!

I also know Paul from this site is working on something too ! Any joy with the lock up bugs ?

Many thanks to all,

Declan

Hi there, and welcome to MoDaCo!

Traffic-i is OK, but the road coverage is not very good IMO - a main route between my home and work has only got a few sensors, so often jams do not show up. It tends to work best on Motorways. Haing said that, for £24 (I think) it has saved me loads of stress when I actually remember to check it.

TomTom Mobile (the current version) also has the optional Traffic service, but I've never used it so I can't comment. If it's built into the route planning then it could be very useful.
