The traffic on the XL is live traffic, from an FM receiver. It might be limited to traffic information reported to the traffic service, usually by the departments of transportation. That service is free, at least on that GPS receiver.

The Live units have GPRS (cellular) modems, which can recieve much more data, including map updates weather, POIs, and an enhanced traffic system, which as well as using the normal traffic data, it uses a "logical" traffic model by monitoring how similar GPS units are travelling. That service, after an initial trial, has an ongoing service fee.

Ask the staff on the community shops. pass there and look on the flaws! I checked them out at perfect purchase or perhaps however the TomTom is extra low priced curiously extra low priced and the image isn't as sparkling. The Garmins and Magellin's have extra purposes, a clearer, larger exhibit and seem as though they could out survive the TomTom. i could in ordinary terms purchase a TomTom to maintain some greenbacks and if i substitute into happy with ordinary purposes.
