    Hi All,

    Just wondering has anyone used the Traffic Live add-on for Navigon. It's on sale at the moment (€14.99 - not sure what the usual price is).

    Does it actually work in Ireland? In the in-app purchase Ireland is listed as one of the countries but on the Navigon website Ireland isn't listed.

    If it does work is it worth getting? I got the 3D maps recently and was a little....underwhelmed.

    Cheers

    Well, seeing as nobody has tried it I went ahead and bought it. Won't be doing much driving over the weekend but I'll report back on how it performs.

    I've been tempted to buy it too, use Navigon on my iphone and ipad so would be very interested to know how good it is! :)

    I got it yesterday morning. It worked great, but I was in Germany. I got into France yesterday afternoon, and have data roaming turned off, so it only worked a bit when I started the journey close enough to the hotel for it to get the wifi connection. I hope it works as well back in Ireland as it seemed to work while in Germany!

    Okay,

    Purchased this on Friday. Once paid for it was active almost instantly (so built in functionality but locked).

    On the way home on Friday evening it showed the following traffic issues:

    Which would be handy apart from most of them are in NI (or Wales! :()

    The traffic on the M11 outside Bray on a Friday can be diabolical so it seemed to have that:

    The wine arrows seem to list the heavy traffic and direction.

    For the rest of the weekend on all journeys I got this:

    I suppose it's fair to point out that I didn't hit any real traffic over the weekend but on a Friday evening I'd expect more delays to be shown. I suppose a real test will be a bank holiday weekend. I get the impression that this works very well, just not in Ireland where there isn't enough info.
