I live in Melissa, but work in McKinney; so I'm in the very upper edges of coverage. It took a little while to download the initial info, but since then it has worked pretty well. I will probably buy the lifetime sub after the trial period ends.

Just got back from my trip to Fort Worth from Houston. MSN worked when I left Houston, even picked up signals near Centerville, TX, got a routing update there due to traffic issues on I20 in Dallas.

 

Worked OK when I was in Fort Worth, although bars were not present on the antenna symbol. Updates happened off and on, not sure how often MSN updates the info. No movietimes were displayed for any of the theaters listed. Gas prices were continuosly displayed.

 

On the road back to Houston, lost signal and got no updates until I neared Conroe Texas. Screen kept showing Dallas traffic issues until Conroe, then Houston traffic was displayed.

 

Gas stations and gas prices seemed to be displayed throughout the entire trip. Stopped for gas in Hilsboro.

 

For $10 for 9 months, I think it's worth keeping just for the traffic and automatic routing aorund traffic. I hope they keep updating the info and increase the coverage.
