Tom Tom Traffic Plug-In now available i've just downloaded and installed the new TomTom Traffic plug-in. Current owners can enjoy three months free subscription which is rather handy.
Installation was fairly quick and simple. Once finished a new Traffic Wizard will appear on your programs list. Inside the navigator, a new 'Traffic' option becomes available. It uses a GPRS connection to download the data.
The main screen is a bit like trafficmaster where you can get a general overview of where the traffic blackspots are. Different icons show the incident, ie. roadworks, accident etc.. You can click on them to get more info and by using the 'block' button route around them.
Tom Tom can either warn you of problems on route or automatically reroute you.
In operation it works really well. They've done a nice job integrating it with the main product. I haven't monitored how much data it uses on each update yet but I may just take the plunge and sign up for the 125MB data tariff from O2 *gulp* !!
