If you browse around their site, you can get a complete coverage map for cities they have traffic reports for. The free FM traffic reports are ad sponsored so you may see some ads on your GPS for nearby businesses. 
I usually use my GPS only if I'm driving outside of Vancouver/Burnaby. If I'm out of town, it comes with me wherever I go. I have the Garmin nuvi 360, but I'm looking to upgrade to probably a 1490T as it offers traffic, junction view, lane assist, speed limit indicators, CityXplorer maps (optional) and a slimmer profile over my 360. (actually, lane assist is what I want most, since it's most useful on US freeways where there are multiple off ramps on the one exit and I always miss the one I am supposed to be on) |
Yeah the lane assist looks neat. However I've never seen it come up before in BC driving. Guess there aren't that many available. I'm using Tomtom Go 930. Lane assist/view, speed limit, BT, MP3, auto brightness, EPT for tunnels, etc.
