I've been stuck in my office the last two weeks working on a project so I haven't had a chance to really use the software. I have put in my destination and origin and looked at the route it would calculate. Then I'd look at traffic.com or google maps to compare and the TeleNav seemed to have more information. Accuracy will have to wait until I can actually try it. I was very disappointed with Garmin's XM traffic re-route, the information was inconsistent and many times inaccurate.

One other comment, the downloads seem much slower.

You mention upgrading the OS in the Cingular 8800... how would I do this? Thanks for the help
