About to buy XL Live IQ Europe - couple of questions?

[Buddy07]

First thing to say - I've answered a lot of questions by looking at existing threads and these are the remaining ones that I can't find in a morning's work. I apologise if they are indeed answered elsewhere....

1. I see all the complaints about LIVE services reliability, but suspect that they'll be a lot better in 12 months' time when I actually need to pay for a subscription (given the new offer).

The question is - in terms of accuracy, coverage and optimisation, how much of an improvement on RDS-TMC (which I've never used either) is HD Traffic?

2. I understand the internal memory is 2Gb but there is no expansion slot - does that leave any space for extra maps, such as USA? And if not, is there a model with expansion capability (or USA built in) that doesn't cost twice as much as the one I'm looking at?

Thanks in advance.

Excellent. Thanks for your help Mike - I saw your recommendation (to someone who didn't really want much "live" stuff) on another post for a GO930T with permanent RDS, but the price difference in the units, HD accuracy and the "free year" offer swing it to the XL I think.

Thanks again.
