"Traffic-I" Live Traffic Info & TTN3

#1 (**permalink**) 01-03-2005, 12:36 AM

Does anyone use Traffic-i live traffic data with their TomTom?

The though of linking route planning with proper live traffic master data is very appealing. I know you could run it in parallel - but that defeats some of the benefits.

I currently use traffic service from TomTom - however I am not convinced yet that when the free 30-day trial is up that I'd pay for the service. Around the major congested areas such as M25 and other roads where 'congestion' is the norm, the service doesn't really work and the reaction time is too slow.

Now give me live traffic master stats....

Can you run it in parallel?
I guess you've got a hard-wired TomTom have you? Im not sure whether you could use Traffic i live with bluetooth version of tomtom and I don't know if two bluetooth devices can connect at the same time?

Anyone know?

sorry PEN - should have explained the set-up a little bit. I'm running TTN3 on an Orange M2000 PDA phone with TT Bluetooth GPS. I have the demo version of Traffic-I software installed and I've asked for the 7 day trial.

I don't have a problem running the two 'programs' in parallel as I just switch between the two and Traffic-I uses GPRS to connect (as does the TT traffic system).

My query is whether anyone knows of a way to integrate the two programs - TTN3 and Traffic-I, in the same way that TTN3 and the TT traffic are integrated. I can't see one in searches I've done but you never know...

I haven't used the Trafiic service but I doubt that you could integrate it with TT without messing around with the TomTom SDK.
