Last year I got a great deal on a new TomTom Gps unit which had a feature called "Live Services". This feature gives you the current weather, shows traffic congestion ahead, and offers alternate routes to get around the traffic congestion if it is too long. It also offers current gas prices so you can stop where it is most reasonable where you happen to be(we found this feature to not always be the most reliable).
Another excellent feature which we used several times is the ability to search google for addresses and/or points of interest, this worked extremely well for us.
This feature is a subscription feature and comes free for three months with the Gps. That is how I used it last year. Because I liked the feature I decided to subscribe on a month to month basis this year for $9.95/mth. You can sub for 6 months or a year but that is of no use to me because the feature is not available in Canada...it runs through AT&T. You have to give them one month notice for cancellation so this year the feature will cost approx $20.00 to cover all the days of our trip which span two months incl. traveling time.
I phoned TomTom support yesterday to accomplish this, and received excellent support, so we should be all set to use this feature again when we get to the US.
