To the original poster: I'm Alltel to Verizon, still with Alltel Plan, and am pretty satisfied with Garmin XT on my TP2. Perhaps slightly lag, but pretty smooth.
milkenerd's - your comments on Traffic caught my attention. I recently traveled from near Charlotte, NC up I-77 to Blacksburg, VA and Garmin was convinced that I-77 Northbound was closed up near the VA border because of an accident (and therefore routed us around it, with an extra 10-15 minutes in travel). (You can dig in and find what its traffic information is.)
I decided to ignore it, and found absolutely no accident. Some evidence of perhaps day-time construction, but not even a slow-down.
Does anybody know
where Garmin gets its 'real-time' traffic information from? In this case, it was obviously unreliable!
