User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Worked Great in Las Vegas
I purchased the Magellan Traffic Link for a planned conference in Las Vegas. Since I did not know the area, I wanted to be able to navigate the traffic w/o relying on the radio, etc. The Traffic Link worked great. I was able to get notifications about costruction and detour, with time delay updates. We were even bold enough to take a side trip to Los Angeles, and then San Diego, and back to Las Vegas. I would recommend this for anyone with a Magellan unit. I have a Magellan RoadMate 1340 which worked much better than my Garmin.

4 Stars Traffic Link
The lack of monthly subscrition fees was the real reason I even considered the traffic link. Here in Cincinnati, OH its has acquired traffic info without problems for several months. I can’t say that it has re-routed me around any huge traffic incidents, but I also doubt that I have been traveling where such an occasion came up. Would I buy it again, not sure, would I use it if there were additional monthly subscription fees, deffinately not.

5 Stars Great product…
Great product to let you know about road hazards such as accidents and what not…

1 Star “I told you so” Traffic Link
Having read some of the negative reviews, I wanted this to work, and I wanted to like it. In the sense that the cord provides power to the GPS, it works. In the sense that it gets past ‘Aquiring signal’ and actually gives you traffic info……….it does not.

And most unfortunate, I paid $50.00 for it and did not get it free as part of a package. Love the 4700 GPS! But this additional accessory adds nothing cost to the experience.

To the writers of previous reviews……..you were right, you told me so, but I had to see for myself if the stove was actually hot – it was.

3 Stars I guess it’s cool
The traffic report is VERY important in Los Angeles. This tells me when there are major accidents, I just wish it worked a little more like those live updates you see in the Times. The ads aren’t that distracting, especially because there is only one ad — every day I’m asked if I’d like 1500 points at Best Western. No thanks. Doesn’t it know I’m near home? But I was very wary of having ads in the car and only chose this one because I couldn’t figure out how to get the paid traffic service. Anyway, it has worked for me. It has Maggie suggest alternative routes while I’m driving when new traffic problems crop up.
