Which is better - Trafficmaster who said nothing until they had something worthwhile (ie the new stations turned on), or iTIS who have told us about their plans, but have yet to show us anything...?


A good question, which ppossibly comes down to personal preference of road coverage, signal availability and information displayed on your GPS.

The best compromise is possibly iTIS TMC, TrafficMaster Freeway and radio traffic bulletins which will give traffic info from both TMC providers along with guaranteed reception from roadside TrafficMaster transmitters and the back up of radio bulletins which have listener phone-in information on top of whatver other source(s) they use.

iTIS and TrafficMaster are still both subject to reception problems despite increased number of radio stations because the antenna is not as good as the car's amplified external aerial.
