Yes, i only use my Garmin sat nav once in a blue moon, such as when i have a big days work and its running into a Friday afternoon for example when the lemmings get let out, if i was working Christmas Eve tha twould be a definate, only use it to keep an eye on the traffic.

I would never use their suggested alternative routes because everyone else who worships at the altar of satnav will be doing that, i use my own routes always.

Nine times out of ten it can take anything up to an hour before any traffic info appears at all, by that time its too late to do anything about it, almost never has the current traffic system been of any benefit.

Completely unlike the old Trafficmaster system, with the YQ stand alone unit in your vehicle, using the TM overhead sensors to put up immediate info and the screen, which simple as it was in comparison to today you could scan the whole country in a matter of seconds and know before the oil even got round the engine which route to take, it was brilliant in its simplicity and ease of use.

Yet another thing that wasn't broken but had to be fixed, nothing since to touch it for instant traffic info on distance driving, the google maps traffic display is OKish but you have no idea how up to date the info is.
