I was wondering if they were ever going to have one in Jacksonville and they finally did. Now all the major cities in Florida have it. :D

 

Orlando has it... well, at least it shows traffic incidents and construction information. The Traffic Flow doesn't show for Orlando though.

 

Personally, Nav Traffic has not helped me get to work any faster when there's an accident or bad traffic, but then again, there's pretty much only one way I can take to work.

You know sounds all nice and everything but i'd like to see them instead of trying to expand why don't they actually work on the markets their in now. Example i live in the dc area and it only works on the virginia side of the beltway maryland side doesn't even give traffic flow. Sucks too cause they say the washington metro area and it's part of it. Also like to see it more accurate sometimes it'll say traffics flowing and im sitting in stop and go while other times it says there's a traffic jam and theres nothing there. Honestlty i do better watching the news in the morning on the way to work.

 

I'm also curious why they don't provide traffic flow there. Maryland DOT has the info (visible here and here), although I don't know how that's populated. Is there any specific email address we can send questions to? Besides PMing a certain XM employee?

As of today, I finally noticed some traffic flow dots and traffic incident info on I-495 on the Capital Beltway on the Maryland side. Specifically between the exits for I-270 and the B/W Parkway. hooray.

From what I understand, for Canada, it will only work if you are a US subscriber with US equipment and you travel to Canada.

 

NavTraffic is NOT available to Canada Market yet

 

Also, seems that for TO and Mtl, you would only get accidents and not full traffic

Wow that is kind of amazing that Albuquerque and other parts of NM are on this so soon. Usually NM gets everything cool last, unless it is a bomb. :P

 

XM says they expect XM NavTraffic to be available in 200,000 vehicles by the end of 2008.

 

Great now everyone will have this and when there is a wreck the side streets will be flooded with cars and more wrecks. :cry:
