Egmont Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 After installing the whole system it works wonderfully and I have just one question. Is there a way to limit the traffic data to a certain area? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Not that I am aware of. You might be able to call XM and block certain cities, just as you are able to block any channel you wish. Can I ask why you wouldnt want traffic for certain areas? I mean if you are going to an area that you dont want the traffic overlays, you can turn them off totally in settings, then turn them back on when you get to an area you would like to use it in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Egmont Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 I am new to this system and are you suggesting that I can select which areas to overlay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 no but you can turn the overlays on or off. so when you get to an area you dont want to see it, turn it off. when you get back to an area you want to see overlays, turn it back on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brock.travis Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Thinking about getting navtraffic with my xm sub, but not sure yet. How accurate has it been for you who have it? I would assume the information would be delayed at least 15 minutes from the point an wreck happend to when users were acctually informed about it on their nav. By then it could be too late.

dwhitley0381 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I love it... I live in Houston, TX and it works great... getting in your card and knowing where the issues are before you get to them is good... as for time delay I would say about 5 Mins.. that is is Houston... you also need to check your city and see what highways are covered we have a few spots that are not covered but they are what is know as non-hotspots very few issues so they do not monitor them.....

whtcrxghst Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 The accident reporting is very accurate where I live so it helps me decide which freeways to take home. The traffic flow information is not. Definitely worth $4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dwhitley0381 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Man that sucks... yea I get flow and everything... green flashes and little color dots with MPH in them.. works great... but our mayor here is big on keeping traffic flowing... so that may be why and of course Metro is real big here to...
