I use it to get through the traffic clutter and help predict snarl ups but lately its become really ropey, so any alternatives out there that are more reliable?
Maybe a giant periscope?

I’ve noticed mine hasn’t been great just lately, often the queue is a lot bigger than they think.

I’ve also got co-pilot on my iphone with the traffic services but that isn’t great either. I think the Tom Tom is about as good as it gets.
