Traffic
Live traffic information is an option available for your Magellan RoadMate using the Traffic Link accessory. The
Traffic Link accessory connects to your Magellan receiver through the Traffic Link power cable that is supplied in
the kit. There is nothing you need to do other than to connect the power cable, traffic information is automatically
activated and there are no traffic subscriptions to buy.
Additionally, when the Traffic Link is installed, you will get coupon and offer notices for POI categories you are
searching for and some random coupons displayed in a banner on the
Map
screen.
Coverage
You will be able to get traffic information in major US cities (indicated on this map) as well as in Toronto, Canada.
Additional cities may be added at any time.
