I know it's fairly new here and there doesn't seem to be much discussion about it in this forum. If it works, $60/year seems reasonable for the service, but the initial cost to get my nuvi working ($200 for a receiver) makes me want to make sure it's worth it.

Does anybody actually use this in the US? Specifically, is anybody using the FM service available for the nuvi (Clear Channel TMC) in the Atlanta area? If so, how does it work? Is it worth it?

Lew,

I just started using FM TMC in the Washington, DC area. The entire area, extending into Northern Virginia, is supposed to be covered (Baltimore also), but I've had the most reliable and timely info pop up inside the Beltway. Like Atlanta, traffic is one of the biggest quality-of-life squelchers around here. I think it's going to be worth it. The capability came with my Garmin c550, so I'll just have to pay for the subscription once my free 3 months is up.

T.D.
