MagellanMagellan Traffic Kit for the Maestro Series

I was excited when I bought this add-on but I am very disappointed after using it. Simply, this product does not work, at least not without buying the external antenna. The GPS itself was expensive when I got it a few years ago but I wanted to get the most out of the GPS so ordered this live traffic add-on. I used the 3-month free trial (in New York area) that came with it and it never worked. Apparently, you must also buy the external antenna for this add-on to work and there is no way I am giving Magellan another red cent. If they had advertised this as needing the external antenna, I would not have gotten this piece of crap. When you add the initial cost of the GPS and then the cost of all the add-ons needed to make this get live traffic, it is not worth it.

Although the Traffic Service is supposed to work in Atlanta, I have yet to see a single traffic alert. I would have given this one star except that it is a required optional accessory if you want to use an external antenna with the Maestro and for that it works as advertised.

Haven't had a chance to use it yet. Came in what looks to be the original packaging. Looks brand new, I'm sure it is! I should be using it sometime within the next month or two. I will be activating it soon!

Bought this because the speaker in my Magellan is shot, was told this one has speaker in it, but it does not.Wasted my money!

The Magellan Traffic Kit works fine, but the connection between my Magellan and the Traffic Kit is not as tight as the original one. It moves back and forth on the base and the locking mechanism does not attach to my Magellan.
