Can you please give a link to the demo, I can't find it on the site, cheers 😊

I don't know if there is a demo version or not, but I use the roads quite a bit so I thought I'd give it a go, and it seems to work really well

which impressed me as I never thought it would work

What does it use, GPRS? If so how much data does it take to get the information?

I've been connecting with GPRS , and it's minimal data really, especially when you compare it to emailing or using the browser.

There are no links on the download page, apart from the pdf 😞

This only works in the UK, as it uses the TrafficMaster network of monitoring cameras. It works a treat for UK roads though!

I've just bought a copy, as I use the 1740 service alot, but this software is so much better with its graphical display. What cool software D

Just noticed that if you connect the phone to the syncstation you can use Traffic-i without incurring any GPRS charges !

So cool, don't do much traveling anymore, but its just one of those got to have utilities for posing 😊

I will use it though, I used to have a traffic master, and the annual license was �100 so �39.99 is a bargain, and no extra box on my dashboard.

I just feel sorry for the guys who are not uk based, cause you can't use it.

I also bought it - I asked them if they had a demo version and they don't at the moment - this is because of some third party or something. Anyway they said if you buy the full version and aren't satisfied you get a full refund.

I bought it and then found it wasn't letting me connect to the network. Reported it to them on Thursday night. By Friday at 10:00am they had fixed the problem, and emailed me a later version of the program. Works fine now.

How I use it is just to check before I start a journey to see if there is anywhere I should avoid. It's excellent for that.

When this is combined with proper route planning it will be the dogs bollox.

I bought a copy too. 😃 For �39.99, it is really a bargain. With my ipaq tomtom GPS system, it is really a dream to drive on Monday morning. :angel:

This is so much better than the 1740 service that i used to use. I used to travel down the M6 every day and had to listen on 1740 to the traffic going the otherway first before I found out the conditions going my way.

Now I just have a quick look and see what it's like straight away, no more waiting. (and it's not 60p a minute)

If like me you live in the UK and travel abit , this application is a must have.

it has to be my number one application
