This is great for when you're stuck in traffic and looking for an escape. we were on our way home from hartford and it told us there was a traffic jam in New Haven CT. we were re-routed around it through New Haven city streets and could see on occasion the traffic was a parking lot. we were thankful we had it. i have heard some people have had issues with it but, so far so good.

I like this traffic link thing because it is a combined power-supply traffic-link gizmo. I don't like it because now the GPS mounts to the windshield mount using only one groove and you have to plug the power in separately and unplug each time you get out instead of just mounting it in the base that had the power socket built in. At least the traffic reports are more accurate and refresh faster. Also, this system is much better than the old way of updating thru the website. You just buy the charger once and you have traffic for life, great! Good value for the money, good length of the wire - I have run it from top middle of my windshield to the bottom left of it and the wire just reaches. Maybe 6 more inches would be nice too.
Traffic for life and on your NEXT one too

Reviewer: Carl Wutkee, Los Angeles, CA
This works as advertised on my Magellan 4700. I have owned a 760 with traffic and an 860T which required annual subscriptions for $40/year. In exchange for small and NOT INTRUSIVE advertising, this works forever for about the same price. This works on our 1470 too! I buy a new Magellan GPS every year as it is the only way to get the newest maps and I expect this traffic link to be used on the next one as well. Also, after I installed the latest firmware update, the installation did not go as the installation proceedure said it would; instead, it was 100% fully automatic; I did not have to activate or turn on anything for this to work; I only had to plug it in and power up the unit.

This traffic link works well. As with all traffic links, they pick up coupon advertisments which become annoying. I do recommend this item for traffic updates, but remember it only works in areas where fm traffic information is being broadcasted (normally close to major cities).

The product is of good quality. I prefer because it does tell you traffic and it will reroute so you
can get to the destination the quickest way. However I have to say that in order to get a good signal you have to place the silver square receiver on the dash board in order to work. Otherwise the device is works flawlessly.
