Does the TT GO support TrafficLine, as for TT3 (when it comes out in ?June)?

Hi David,

Looking at the TomTom website, I don't think it does. Sad

Regards,

For that matter neither does TT3 (as yet!) - it only occured to me the other day that this was a touted "feature" of the software when I was considering buying and as I had not seen anything about it, so off we went to the Tomtom website and....Oh! I see it comes out in May Hmmmmm

Does anyone have an idea how this will work? will I have to have my mobile connected to their website for the whole journey (will this be a cost per minute or per kb downloaded) and therefore unable to make or receive calls (hands free of course!) - not entirely sure about any of this, but do know that if I have paid for it I want it!!! (can you tell I'm a Yorkshireman???)

Haven't seen anything else on this feature apart from what Tomtom have on their website, but as it says that it uses GPRS for the traffic data, then this is charged by data volume i.e. £/MB. It's a permanent connection and shouldn't interfere with the ability to make and receive calls - although this latter may depend on phone models and/or networks.

More interesting is going to be trying to run a system using PDA to Bluetooth GPS, PDA to Bluetooth phone for GPRS AND Bluetooth phone to Bluetooth headset for hands-free. In theory it should work, interesting to see in practice.

Definitely no traffic support in the Go! product.

As for PocketPC, it needs a GPRS connection either via a connected Cellphone or using an XDA or similar. I would hazard a guess that it will make an initial download at the beginning of the journey and then subject to your chosen optiosn will update at set intervals i.e. every 30mins. The amount of data downloaded is small so costs would not be significant.

If I haven't got a mobile phone, PDA OR GPS (I know, where have I been hiding), and want TT3 with the famous, if not vapourware, TrafficInfo, is there any reason not to get the O2 XDAII which SEEMS to have good phone and good PDA in one box, rather than say Ipaq 2210 and some mobile?
Naturally, being all together, the XDAII would stop all operational conflicts Sad

and make my life easy.

Is this not solved by having a wired GPS?
Of course you can't then put the GPS in the boot of your 30 ft long limo without a long extension lead, but is that really a problem for most people? I can see the theoretical attraction of no wires, but the hassles seem to outweigh that for me.
