I am looking for a traffic navigation I saw advertised for $40. Traffic only, not a GPS system.?

Question

This seemed like a similar gadget to a regualr Navigation system, but gave traffic reports/warnings only and was a fraction of the cost as a regular GPS

Answer 1

I dont think u can get GPS worth $40 .You can get a basic GPS system for under $200. The Garmin nuvi 200, for example, has all of the basic features I listed above. It comes preloaded with regional maps (not the entire United States). If you want to spend slightly more, how about the Tom Tom One, 3rd edition, which at the time of these writing (early '08) costs slightly less than $200 at Amazon and comes with real time traffic capability and Tom Tom's MapShare (where you can uploaded changes).

Answer 2

You may be in a city that TrafficGauge serves - Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle - with a handheld device with 1 month of service for $49.95.  It is 10 times more to buy also with a monthly fee, but you should definitely check out the Dash Express.  It is a Internet connected device so you can get traffic, local searches, send addresses to the device and software updates automatically.  It is worth the money and saves the environment as you no longer need to print directions.
