I think I might be a actually unit, my last one a tomtom 720 was nicked sometime ago.

Which has the best real time traffic info I'm going to be doing 25K plus a year.

Also it would be nice if it had bluetooth as well.

hi cejsmith, as i have never had traffic info on any of my devices I'm probably the last person you'll be wanting to chime in with an answer but i'm quite happy to respond with a wrong answer and let others correct my mistakes.

Answer = Anything by TomTom that takes HD traffic info.

People here are very frustrated that TomTom have reduced the range of Traffic info but if you have never had it before you will not notice the difference and, reading between the lines, there is still nothing to compete with it's accuracy.

However, if you have a smartphone, the Waze app is free and provides free traffic info, it hasn't let me down yet but it may be a case of "suck it and see" for your area. On Android, the TomTom app offers Traffic info for a month for a few pounds so it could be an affordable way to "trial" it before committing yourself to buying a new satnav and subscribing to TT traffic info for a year, it may be the same for Apple and PND's but you'll have to check.

I have a Garmin with traffic, and it's only been wrong once in the 2 years I've had it Wink
