It basically is useless. I’m VERY disappointed by the Shotgun’s Traffic notification. It basically is useless.

I LOVE the look the feel & the SIZE of this GPS! The performance is good so far after 1 solid day of usage. the "Send address to GPS" function from the web is AWESOME! One thing that I don't like is that it takes ~ 5 minutes after powering unit on for it to find a GPS signal. Is this normal? My Shotgun arrived yesterday. so far so good.

This device is currently only available from TeleNav, not in stores. There is only one model, no 3.5" model. It does not have Bluetooth. Are you perhaps mistakingly referring to the Insignia devices? That better matches what you seem to be talking about, but not this device. Carmen, I’m not sure what you are referring to. This device is currently only available from TeleNav, not in stores.

The 3.5 version does not . the wide screen and the bluetooth seem to make up the difference in price between the tw -- which is $100.

I love the way the traffic alerts say what lanes are blocked etc even if the info is stale you can plan appropriately. Great review Tim.

The only time any NAVTEQ data comes into play is if you are searching from the website. infama, there is only one map database on the device, Tele Atlas.

Doug, I agree that the Dash solution will be sought after if it can be adapted to high end stand alone PDAs like the TT 930. The shotgun does have the 2 map access advantage for address searching. Its better to work from 2 independent data sets. Yeah Tim, you were right about traffic!

I think the future of traffic data will be this two-way stuff, as well as easily seeing road status via color so at a glance you can see overall status of all the roadways like TrafficGuage.
