Navigation '05 can get live traffic update?

ched1968 · 12-05-2005, 01:57 AM

i have a silver pkg#6. just going to dealer tomorrow to install sirius sat that will be integrated to the MFD..just wondering, is it possible to get live traffic update in your map (like sigalert type in california) where you can see where the traffic is at on you screen like the acura's?..very happy was able to override the navigation, by going to map, menu, volume and touching left upper corner-left lower corner then left upper corner and left lower corner again then press/hold nav override after the beep its done.i can now use my nav control while driving..very cool.

No, unfortunately

No, but this is the future of in-dash nav (and handhelds, too). I predict in only a couple of years there will be many enhanced services, such as real-time traffic, movie guides for theatre POIs, menus for POI restaurants, etc... all as extra cost subscriptions. But I doubt they can be retrofitted. This may be a good reason to NOT buy an in-dash Nav system, because of the expense for what may in a few years be viewed as a primitive system.

Or just get a new Prius with the good stuff.

Nope, I'm driving this one into the ground...
...which may take a while, even at 20K miles per year!
