    I'm almost fully in agreement. If you have a smart phone that was released within the last two years, the user interface of entune feels archaic.

    Entune traffic truly "better than nothing", I agree.

    We have access to a smart phone apps using millions of user's location data to accurately identify traffic, predict patterns, and offer alternative routes around said traffic seamlessly. The user interface is smooth and resolution is great, it marks your current location and visually shows traffic by highlighting impacted areas so that we can visually see and navigate our way around the traffic.

    Entune shows me a text list of streets in a non-prioritized list. Its data is consistently inaccurate and delayed, hard to interpret, pulls from a limited user base, and rarely pushes route guidance to find alternatives. Entune traffic and Nav feels like using my 7 year old TomTom GPS thats streets haven't been updated in years.

    All I'm saying, is to those who don't have Entune Traffic (but have a smart phone), its the equivalent of driving your 4x4 truck through a snowstorm but wanting a pair of snowshoes to get out and hoof it instead.
