No No. Live Traffic is fully up and running but only as of about a week ago, so this last week I have been able to finally see it in action!


Ahhh thanks, and how is it?

and very dangerous if the kids or friends are playing with the iphone!!

It was on the PC on my user account, so in theory locked from little fingers, but typical that the only time I make this mistake is with a £50 app. Still I did intend to get Navigon as I'm sick of CoPilot, just that they usually have a sale when they release new versions, so I was going to wait for 1.5's release.

What's Live Traffic like so far?

I'm on leave, so won't get to use it in anger for another couple of weeks.

What's it like

What I particulaly like is how you get all the relevant traffic reports as soon as you start (depending on data connection) unlike tmc which can be some minutes before you have all the information. Any reported traffic issues come up with a little warning and you can investigate the reports in a new screen showing a my routes type layout with your current route in orange with traffic symbols and a new route in green. You get two buttons to press displaying differences in distance and time. You can also break into the detail even more if you have multiple traffic issues on route, and choose which ones to avoid and to ignore.

I don't like the report detail though as it is difficult to translate the information given. Unless you know which junctions of a motorway are represented and where they are it might well be jibberish. A map here would have helped. Also the transmit your location option will be a bit marmite for some as transmission of your gps location might be see as an infringment of privicy and turn it off, but it can help provide better traffic reporting with live feedback so I have it on!

Is it worth the additional cost? Well it should have it anyway, but IMO yes because it is quick and accurate (so far).
