 Navigon Traffic Service July 12, 2008
This a a product that you really need with the GPS. The GPS usually takes you on all the freeway routes. But with the Traffic Service it warns you of impending traffic slowdowns and construction ahead of time and asks if you want to be rerouted. It is a must have.
Lifetime service a good buy July 9, 2008
I live in Dallas and use this service a lot. Several times it has prevented me from getting stuck in traffic by telling of the traffic alert and giving me the option of ignore or reroute around it. I usually choose reroute and as I get to the exit on the freeway it wants me to use as a bypass I will asset the road ahead visually and may choose to not take the exit and it will recalculate the route. There has been a few times I was wrong and should have taken its advice to reroute, so I pay the price by getting stuck in traffic and saying to myself I will believe it the next time for sure. I have a 5100 which included this Traffic service but I bought this service for my daughter's Model 2100. Their website is easy to use and activate this service. On my daughter's 2100 she needs to have the power cord plugged in for it to work but on my model 5100 it works fine without any external antennae. Navigon includes an antennae that plugs in the speaker jack but I use the speaker jack to go to a cassette adapter where the sounds come out my car speakers so I can hear it much better.
Works Pretty Well July 1, 2008

A great addition to any Navigon that doesn't already have Traffic Service. The only complaint I have is that sometimes with the traffic alerts it gives, it is difficult to tell the severity of the traffic alert. Sometimes I ignore it and I am just fine and sometimes I ignore it and wish I would have listened.
 I don't use it often June 30, 2008
I purchased this feature thinking that it would be highly useful, but discovered that it really is not all that often used in regular driving. The price is right at less than $100 for the life of the device, but it just isn't quite useful enough to help me out when driving.
Navigon GPS Lifetime Traffic Card April 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased a new Navigon lifetime traffic card on sale on amazon.com for only $58 dollars (normal price is $99). I use it with the basic Navigon GPS which I will say does a great job. I've only had the product for a month or so and already I've avoided a few jams on the NJ Turnpike by following the traffic warning and taking an alternate spur of the Turnpike. Also when I was about to jump on Rt 46 going towards NYC, it directed me to take local roads towards the GWB, which I wouldn't have gone otherwise. So far so good.
Look, if you already have a Navigon GPS which I recommend (even the basic model which I have, purchased from Staples on sale for only #119), or are considering purchasing one, it's a no brainer for a one time fee of $99 dollars...versus having a monthly bill for a subscription with another carrier which most likely uses the same technology. All of the tecnhology for now is pretty much the same apart from one new concept that I saw on Nightline that to my understanding uses live streaming of satelite images to determine and project volume of traffic flow, and thus predict tie-ups.
The traffic updates are consistent also with contruction updates, which in the NY/NJ Metro area can really slow you down even in non-peak hours. Frankly, I should have purchased the used card in retrospect for $10 less. It doesn't really matter if you get it new or used, because it's only a code on the card that you intitally enter one time into your GPS.
Bottom line, it's a lot of bang for the buck all things considered with technology, price, and productivity. Navigon is the only GPS that I know of where the traffic fee is a one time lifetime deal. Most if not all the other GPS brands have a monthly or annual fee. Also it doesn't matter which of the tree Navigon GPS devices you have, the traffic card works with all of them. It's a great addition to your Navigon GPS. Buy it!
