Does anyone know of an alternative to TomTom Traffic that does not require an annual subscription?

You can browse the RAC traffic pages on the internet from your PDA. On 02 you can dial 1200 (it may have changed now) to get the latest traffic information in your area. You can also browse the Highways Agency pages for traffic information in certain areas.

However no organisation is going to provide continuously updated traffic information for free as it costs them money to provide it and they can also make a profit out of it.

Trafficmaster is one of the major providers of traffic information and they offer a range of products.

Traffic-TV is a good program for traffic information on the PDA. It will run at the same time as TomTom and you can even look at the traffic on local road CCTV cameras. It costs £40pa.

Isn't there also the Destinator 6 traffic features? I think it's free for Standard RDS updates but a one off charge for the professional extended updates.
