However based on a comment on the CP8 Facebook group, it sounds very buggy.

That was me that posted on Facebook. The features are very, very nice, WHEN they work. I bought the package last night and the traffic is the feature giving me the most inconsistent performance. I am not using traffic in a route, I am simply sitting in my living room, looking at traffic "near another location" and am comparing it to what I see from other traffic sources. The data, when I see it, looks very impressive. When I've been able to see Chicago data for example, it shows both incident data and also flow data with average speeds in the slow section. I am not clear whether CoPilot will factor that reduced speed into the ETA or not. It also shows some interesting incident data, including "Baseball Game." Not sure how this incident would influence the route calculation or the ETA.

The main problem with traffic is inconsistency in receiving the data. I can go into traffic and search near Chicago and see hundreds of items. Then I can exit out, go back in and select Los Angeles and it returns nothing. I can then exit out, go back and enter Chicago and it too now shows no incidents.

Very, very inconsistent results without explanation.

There is also no coverage map for the traffic that I've found. Though I am receiving traffic data in Des Moines, IA which is a relatively small market.

I should have said, "Premium Live Services".

Primarily traffic information. I assume it's available for both WM and Android as it shows up in CoPilot Central, no idea about iPhone.

I'm currently running CP8 under WM but will be switching to an Android phone (HTC Hero) this week.
