to Nav or not to Nav

$6 /mo for XM Radio (which sounds amazing) and another $3/mo for Nav Traffic. Worth every penny for me.

I ask because I was on 405n late last night, it was going slowly, and showed that on the navscreen, but there was no re-routing. On the other hand, I don't think it was going slowly enough that another route would have helped.

Details on how it works...
There are also icons that show accidents in addition to 4 traffic speed colors (Red/Yellow/Green & Purple=urskrewd).
I don't see an option for auto-reroute... but if you know the freeways, you can use the info to take another way - or just get off and let the system re-ruote you.
From the manual:
I see the accident symbol quite frequently - and it does match an incident.
--OK I just noticed this in the manual... pretty funny:
AIR RAID! AAAAHHHH!

I got the non-Nav. The deciding factor ended up being the CD changer in the trunk and the fact that you can't upload to the HD from CF cards. If they had left the CD changer off I probably would have gone with the Nav.
If you could have uploaded to the HD from the CF card I would surely have gone with the Nav. When we travel we take my wifes Expedition so the Nav was kind of pointless to me. I know how to get back and forth to work

My mistake! You're absolutely right - I thought the disk I tried back there was MP3s... they're not. Not sure I'll ever be using it... maybe for that obscure CD I rarely listen to, but the record speed to the HD is so fast & easy. That'll be the primary source.
