Customer Review: TomTom good, traffic bad!
Like the previous reviewer I think the TomTom itself is good, but while I am able to get a good signal on the traffic receiver, I tend not to get any good traffic information. To be fair I was using this over the Christmas holidays and the traffic info comes from local radio stations so perhaps the radio stations were understaffed and not updating.

Customer Review: RDS/TMC Traffic Doesn’t Work!
I’ve just upgraded from my tomtom v1 to the newer v3, primarily because of the traffic feature. Pricewise the tomtom traffic seems to make more sense than paying a monthly subscription for traffic on a bluetooth tomtom.

The problem is that the aerial doesn’t pick up a good enough signal (the uk transmitters are not strong enough)basically making the ‘traffic’ part of the tomtom useless! There’s loads of people complaining about this issue with tomtom - check out pocketgpsworld and look at their forums on this issue, 100’s of people with the same problem - can’t get a good signal to recieve the traffic information.

Other than the traffic issue the unit works flawlessly, i particularly like the map corrections and where you can give names to roads that are listed as ‘unknown road’ - very good feature.

In conclusion if you dont want the traffic, buy the cheaper standard europe model, if you do want the traffic buy the bluetooth version and pay your monthly subscription.

Hope this helps your purchase
