Hi Joe - I've been using the Dash Express GPS for the past couple of years, primarily for its live traffic capability, but that service has now been discontinued so I'm looking for a replacement.
I saw the new Insignia CNV43 in the weekly flyer so tried to check it out in the store, but even though the display was plugged into the alarm system it wasn't getting power...
Regardless, my question is on traffic, which I probably wouldn't have been able to check out on the store model anyway. I'm just wondering if the CNV43 will provide a similar view?
All I'm looking for is the same thing you see if you go to Google Maps and click 'Traffic' - it shows an overhead view of the highways, color-coded red, yellow, and green based on how fast traffic is flowing. This is what the Dash would show on the regular map view, without having to go to an alternate 'traffic' screen, or view static snapshots of various incidents.
Most of the time I'm just driving between work and home and don't need (or want) to input a route - there are several possible routes I can take depending on the traffic, and I want to see for myself how "bad" it is, not have the GPS estimate the delay and take me on some strange detour that might be counterproductive.
It's hard to drive without the live traffic now - if the CNV43 does the same thing I'll buy it immediately! Any thoughts?
