I know it can bring up traffic through MSN Direct or XM Traffic... will it reroute through traffic using these services?

I think you can set the route options to avoid traffic or whatever. I know you could on the D3, so I'd assume you can with the F.

The options are there but the msn direct service isnt working very well for me. I got it activated after a few attempted calls to Microsoft but today when I got to work I clicked on traffic and it had no reports.

See thats the thing for me.. I use XM Traffic here in Houston, Tx and it works great.... keeps my ass free of traffic... I am affraid of the MSN deal as their stuff seems to always have problems.. anyone have thoughts on MSN Direct?

Its working ok this afternoon as far as showing traffic incidents and fuel prices. I didn't have it show up as traffic on my route though as it was on a different freeway. Will keep at it and post if I get to a point where it can try to reroute me.
