Do you think this would be integrated on our navigations system fo 05 TL? The navigation system will automatically adjust to road and traffic conditions. Kind of cool.

I've found traffic pulse to be utterly useless. They are only covering a few SoCal freeways (last time I listened they covered only 5 short sections between all of LA, OC and Riverside counties...100's of miles of fwys), and never the ones I'm on and not even ones notorious for bad traffic. Even when it rained and there were dozens of problems...still the same limited reporting.

I've had to go back to AM and Sigalert.com sending alerts to my T616 to get decent traffic reports.

XM is great for entertainment...SUCKS royal for traffic updates.

Same here. It doesn't cover any of the roads I take on my daily commute. And it's not like they're obscure - 105 W to the 110 N to the 10 E! So I to have to rely on AM. It's disappointing.

What I'd like to see is something like Sigalert.com tied in to the GPS system. Then have the system calculate routes based on best travel time at the moment.

I can't recall where I've seen it, but there's an article out there somewhere (perhaps TOV) mentioning that Honda is testing traffic condition integrated navi in Japan.
