perfect explanation.
as you say trends helps plan the route and then tmc then helps add latest traffic incidents.
i think you have helped me decide on the 2360 rather than the 1390
thank you |

the 2360T has TrafficTrends and VoiceControl
But as the 1390T has TMC I assume it will be able to take into account CURRENT traffic vs. historic ... |

I've installed the safety camera data and voices - great.
I've set up the distance warning at 250yrds.
What is the ideal distance? |
