May serves as a good transition to the summer driving season as manufacturers ready their new models for the stores and some news trickles out ahead of people buying their navigation system of choice.

Garmin switches from annual to lifetime traffic renewal

GPS Ratings — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:44:49 +0000

Garmin's FM TMC traffic service (Clear Channel) has changed from an annual $60 fee to a $60 lifetime fee. This applies to older units only, not the 2x5T and 7x5T units with ad-supported NAVTEQ traffic.

According to the Garmin website...

"Lifetime traffic extends for the useful life of your Garmin traffic receiver (as long as you own a compatible Garmin GPS) or as long as Garmin receives traffic data from its traffic supplier, whichever is shorter."

Thanks to David for the tip.
