Very well anytime i turned them on traffic moved imediately they are very bright and well worth the price ive seen people at my department spend more money for a lot less quality

They seem to do as good of job if not better than any other lights I've owned. It really depends more on who is in those cars and if they're paying attention

It works nice during the day but is obviously better at night. I wouldn't try to watch much during mid day but have watched games at 6 with the sun darkness not hitting until 7:45ish and it was great.

It is supposed to, but I have not seen it work yet. I don't hit many traffic jams where I live.

I find that it reroutes almost instantly. There's an odd time it may take a few seconds longer but mostly you hardly know you missed a turn!

Traffic option works fine in major metro areas. I live 100 miles from nearest metro (Orlando) but it works fine when I drive down there. One neat feature is it tells you about any accidents anywhere on your route. If I am 50 miles from the accident and it is on my route it tells me, and if the traffic clears up it beeps and tells you the route is clear.

It does. Going downhill and on flat is pretty great. The trucks aren't amazing - but if you're looking for a faster pace, just invest in better trucks.

Hello,I just got a 1490T. Please excuse my ignorance, but I decided on that unit for the traffic feature as I commute over 35 miles each way. Thing is, I can't find a description anywhere that tells me what I need to do to have access to just the traffic info i.e. do I need to have the GPS active even when I don't need it - I know how to get to my office, for example. I'm a bit confused......Regards,Barry

Yes. I love it and makes gps more accurate for other ways when traffic is bad. Thumbs up.

You can turn the multi-displacement system off if you want, but you don't have to. If you do, you should expect to see maybe 12ish city, and 18ish highway. Depending on if you can keep your foot out of the throttle.

Not that bad. I have deer on ocasion set it off. We have the distance set short for traffic on ourroad. You will get false alarms when batteries are getting low. We are pretty happy with the purchase.

It does have traffic updates, but in certain cities. Unfortunately traffic does not work in the City I live in. So that feature is useless to me.

Traffic will not be present for all cities. If you are in an area that supports NAVTEQ FM traffic, your unit will pick up the FM band and an icon (showing one car overlapping another) should appear in the upper left-hand corner. The feature itself is automatic, but by touching the icon it will bring up a submenu for further exploration (if there is a traffic problem ahead). I suggest you go to gpsmagazine.com and read the review for the 765. It is very detailed and will explain the traffic function better than I.

The maps are constantly updated as you drive, but the screen does occasionally seem to jump, but it is not distracting because the "jump" is so small. The motion is similar to other GPS's I have used like a Garmin or a Mio.

Very good for commuting...I would not say fast, but smooth for sure. Make sure you adjust the bearings and trucks to your taste, they are a bit tight from factory settings.

The ads are how they are able to offer free lifetime traffic and only show up if you are using the FM traffic receiver. The ads are not too obtrusive. I tested the traffic feature in Southern California for a couple of weeks, but decided that it wasn't useful enough. I'd be interested if others have found it useful.

Mine does pretty well at night. Depending on your headlights you can probably get license plate number of the car in front of you while at a stop light or stop sign.

I would say it's pretty tight, 10 t0 15 degrees, you can go past a station pretty quick, the rotor moves fairly quickly.
