Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The traffic link is a power cord that replaces the power cord packaged with the GPS unit and has the added ability to receive traffic information. I got it free when I ordered a Roadmate 1470 several months ago. I appreciate that it's very simple in that you swap one cord for another so you are still using only a single cord that can both power the unit and receive traffic info.
Provided I am in an area where there is an active signal to receive, my GPS can show traffic delays either in the overall area or along my specific route when I have entered a destination when I touch the red on screen traffic icon. I live about 30 miles outside Philadelphia and while still in my driveway, it shows traffic delays in and around Philly so it has a reasonable range. When using it for traffic on my route, it can alert me to both slow traffic and stopped traffic and can provide a detour. It shows a revised ETA for the detour so I know how the detour might affect my arrival time before I select it. I have found it to be a bit helpful while I've been traveling in unfamiliar areas.
I do not believe that I am currently using the traffic feature on my 1470 to its full potential since I haven't taken the time to figure out how to optimize this feature. However, the Magellan Traffic Link does exactly what it's meant to do, power the unit and receive traffic info, and does it reliably.
